J&K may see triangular fight in district council polls

The Hindu  

Jammu and Kashmir is all set to see a triangular contest between the Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration, the J&K Apni Party and the BJP in the coming maiden eight-phase District Development Council polls, also the first ever elections since the removal of the special status last year. The Gupkar alliance — an amalgam of seven political parties including the National Conference, the Peoples Democratic Party, the Peoples Conference, the Congress and the CPI — on Thursday announced a first joint list of candidates for the first phase, starting from November 28. If our party wins the polls, J&K will see development,” BJP State general secretary Ashok Koul said. However, the JKAP has roped in many known faces — like former ministers Usman Majid of the Congress, Zulfikar Choudhary of the PDP and Hassan Mir of the Democratic Party Nationalist — both from Kashmir and Jammu regions to make electoral gains, which it would like to build on for the Assembly polls to emerge as a political player.
