SRINAGAR, May 5: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) senior leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Muzzafar Hussain Baig has said Jammu and Kashmir is heading for better times as the rout of the National Conference is imminent from the entire State. He also appealed the people of North Kashmir to give him a chance to represent the State in the highest democratic forum of the country.
Addressing various wayside meetings in Baramulla segment of North Kashmir Parliamentary constituency, he said there is a huge urge of change prevailing on the ground and the people have understood the importance of electoral process to make their lives better.
Terming NC as the designer of all problems in Kashmir, Baig said till it is not marginalized politically there could be no significance change in the overall situation on ground. “People need to give PDP a decisive mandate so that it could complete its unfinished agenda of political resolution and good governance in the State,” he said.
Baig said the reason for the NC leadership to feel jittery is understandable as the change in public mood around is not in their favour. “Crushing defeat is in the offing for the NC which has always taken people for granted and worked against their interests, sentiments.”
He said the NC has not only lost its ground but its identity too as it made power its only choice and never worked seriously for the welfare of the State. He said the NC focused only on personal luxury and positions of power and never stood up for the rights of the people who have been voting them and the people have now decided to drive the State for a bigger change.
“By way of performance, the ruling party has nothing to show to the people and hence it is now in search of ways and means to create a fear on ground so that people will not come out to vote,” he said, adding that people need to understand the tricks and propaganda of NC which it has been employing to keep electorate away from polling booths.
