Former MLA Engineer Rashid to join Shah Faesal's JKPM; move likely to hurt PDP, NC's fortunes in upcoming J&K Assembly polls

Firstpost  

Former independent MLA Engineer Sheikh Abdul Rashid is set to join former IAS officer-turned-politician Shah Faesal’s JKPM ahead of Assembly polls in the state of Jammu and Kashmir Former independent MLA Engineer Sheikh Abdul Rashid and former IAS officer-turned-politician Shah Faesal are cobbling up an alliance in order to challenge the traditional mainstream parties in the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly election, which are expected to be held later this year. The coming together of the two faces has produced the first major alliance before the Assembly elections in north Kashmir where, until few months back, former BJP ally Sajad Lone’s People’s Conference was considered to be the only game changer. “If this is happening, it is a good decision,” said Sajad Ahamd Sheikh, a worker of Faesal’s party, “We will emerge as a major force to reckon with in the state politics.” The Election Commission of India recently said that an announcement regarding the conduct of state Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir will be made later this year. In the last month’s parliamentary elections, Rashid was leading in five constituencies of north Kashmir including Karnah, Langate, Uri, Baramulla and Tangmarg, putting him in a head-to-head fight with the National Conference, in the upcoming Assembly election.
