Barring Imran Raza Ansari all the rebels who have resigned from Peoples’ Democratic Party(PDP) don’t have capacity to throw up challenge to their challengers in electoral contests but they are portraying themselves as the big challengers on the votes they secured as PDP candidates due to an anti-incumbency wave in 2014 assembly elections in Jammu & Kashmir. Had they been popular enough to emerge as challengers to the people in power, they would have challenged the party’s patron late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed over his objectionable decision on alliance with BJP. While they are challenging the decision of PDP top brass on alliance with the BJP taken in contrast to their ideologies after the fall of the Mehbooba government and cite quitting a reason for the disrespect party top brass was showing to the public mandate, people reserve the right to ask them that why they did not dared to stand up against the alliance with the BJP the time party patron late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed took the decision against the whims and wishes of the people of Kashmir and again after Mehbooba Mufti took the charge as Chief Minister and did not both to empower the constituencies where PDP had lost by narrow margins. In fact barring Imran Ansari all the rebels have quitted the party just for their own political rehabilitations. Raja Aijaz Ali the latest leader to quit the PDP would have been a retired officer of wireless wing of BSF instead of a retired IPS officer of IGP rank if former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah won’t have brought him on deputation from BSF to wireless wing of Jammu & Kashmir police and adjusted him as an officer in Jammu & Kashmir police on regular basis.
Barring Imran Raza Ansari all PDP rebels should forget about emerging as challengers to the party which owned them in 2014 assembly elections and projected them as challengers to political heavyweights of oldest political parties National Conference and Congress. Voters in thousands voted for them in 2014 assembly elections not out of love and passion for them but out of anger against the then NC-Congress coalition government in the state.
Having come into the IPS through backdoor the former police officer Raja Aijaz Ali perharps must have been hoping for his induction into the legislative council but his dream did not come true due to pre-mature fall of PDP-BJP coalition government. A back door police officer can never and never dream of becoming a public man unless and until any outstanding politician does not own him and more so in Kashmir where majority of the police officers don’t have the reputation of serving people with the spirit of public service. So barring Imran Raza Ansari all PDP rebels should forget about emerging as challengers to the party which owned them in 2014 assembly elections and projected them as challengers to political heavyweights of oldest political parties National Conference and Congress. Voters in thousands voted for them in 2014 assembly elections not out of love and passion for them but out of anger against the then NC-Congress coalition government in the state.
