National Congress MP says war of words between Congress and National Conference leaders in Jammu and Kashmir, will not campaign for election
The Congress and the National Conference (NC) are in an alliance in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections. NC is contesting on 51 seats. Congress is testing its luck in 32 constituencies. There is friendly competition between the two parties in 5 constituencies. Candidates from both the parties can be seen attacking each other on these seats. Even National Conference Member of Parliament Mian Altaf has said that this alliance has set the NC back by 20 years. He refused to campaign in favor of the coalition candidate. Banihal Constituency Congress candidate Waqar Rasool continues to target the National Conference. Waqar has even said that he would beg people with a bowl. He also commented on the National Conference flag. Amidst all this, NCK vice president and former chief minister Umar Abdullah also left no stone unturned in mocking Rasool. These people have to deal with it themselves, a video of National Conference MP Mian Altaf from Rajouri-Anantnag Lok Sabha constituency is also going viral. In this, Altap said that the National Conference and Congress alliance has pushed NC back by 20 years. In this video Altap also said that both the parties have formed an alliance and now they are the ones who have to sign the agreement. I have no responsibility. Why should I campaign for a coalition party? Congress distances itself from Waqar statement The Jammu and Kashmir Congress Committee has distanced itself from Waqar Rasool Wani's comments against the National Conference. JKPCC president Tariq Hameed Karra strongly condemned Rasool's comment. Slamming the National Conference Party, Rasool said that the National Conference flag is red because it is stained with the blood of Kashmiris, especially the people of Banihal. The BJP has raised questions about the alliance between the two parties. BJP spokesperson Abhijeet Jasrotiya says how the alliance of these two parties will win when the leaders of the two parties are talking against each other.
