Central Shalteng : J&K Congress chief Karra fights former MLAs in prestige battle

Hindustan Times  

Central Shalteng, a part of the Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency, is a high-profile assembly segment with Jammu and Kashmir Congress president Tariq Hameed Karra locked in a triangular contest with two former MLAs. Karra, who was elected as MP in 2014 on the PDP ticket from Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency, left the PDP when the party entered into an alliance with the BJP. However, former NC constituency in-charge Irfan Ahmad Shah, instead of toeing the party line is contesting as an Independent, which could hamper the transfer of the NC vote to the Congress. Karra is locked in a keenly watched contest with Shah, who won from the segment in 2008 on the NC ticket, and Noor Mohammad Sheikh, who was elected in 2014 as the PDP nominee.
