Why is everyone's eye on Ganderbal?
This time, everyone's eye is on Awami Ittehad party (AIP) of engineer Rashid, who defeated omar abdullah in lok sabha elections. Like lok sabha elections, in the assembly elections too, omar abdullah is facing election competition from another independent surgeon Barkati, who is in jail from Ganderbal. This is the reason why omar abdullah is considering it a political conspiracy against himself.
omar abdullah, while addressing an election meeting in Ganderbal, said, "First, engineer Rashid, who is in jail, was made to stand against me and I was defeated by making the election an emotional issue. Now, under the delhi conspiracy, Barkati, who is in jail, has been made to stand against me in the election. This is the motive behind large number of independent candidates entering the fray."
Awami Ittehad party is most discussed
This time, a large number of people are joining Awami Ittehad Party. Awami Ittehad party has fielded 26 candidates in the first two phases of assembly elections from different parts of Jammu and Kashmir. According to mehbooba Mufti, how can a person in jail provide the financial support required to field a large number of independent candidates and campaign for them? It is clear that earlier, Apni party and People's Conference were BJP's proxy and now it is Awami Ittehad Party. Voting is to be held in at least 24 assembly constituencies in the first phase of elections. While 92 candidates are contesting as independent candidates.
