NC fields candidate from Mufti’s bastion Anantnag, ends prospects of alliance with PDP

The Hindu  

The National Conference on April 1 nominated senior leader Mian Altaf as its candidate for the Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat, putting an end to the Congress’ efforts to stitch together a pre-poll alliance between INDIA bloc members, including the NC and the Peoples Democratic Party, in the Kashmir valley. The NC’s decision to field a candidate from the south Kashmir seat has brought an end to several months of efforts by the Congress to negotiate a seat arrangement between the NC and the PDP. Ms. Mufti’s party has been insisting on fielding a candidate from one of the three seats in the Kashmir valley. Most rival parties like the BJP, Ghulam Nabi Azad’s Peoples Democratic Azad Party and Altaf Bukhari’s J&K Apni Party are yet to nominate their candidates for the seat.
