Srinagar: The former deputy chief minister and senior PDP leader Muzaffar Hussain Beigh Mondaystated that the pre-poll alliance in no way can affect PDP’s position in the state and that situations by NC are being created for poll boycott in valley.
We have seen in the past what outcome was of the NC-Congress poll alliance during Lok Sabha polls, let them try this again for assembly, said Beigh who represents Baramulla constituency in the parliament.
According to the KNS correspondent, Beigh while addressing party workers at headquarters here stated that nothing is left with the ruling national conference now so that it could lure voters and that people have understood the difference between friends and foes. He stated further that the slogans NC used to raise earlier cannot be cashed now as the party has already bartered the slogans and aspirations of the people.
Beigh maintained that the hue and cry that NC raised over the creation of new administrative units in the state is a misplaced euphoria and that no approval from planning commission of India has been given and a mere propaganda is being created to befool the masses of the state.
He remarked further the smaller parties, ahead of polls, in the state are being brought together to counter PDP and also the hidden candidates could be made to contest the polls from several areas of valley to decrease the voter count of one particular party. “I can tell you with certainty that people have accepted the policies and agenda of PDP and no force could compete with PDP’s popularity in the state.”
