Srinagar- All is not well between alliance partners was more evident when National Conference vice president and party candidate from Ganderbal and Budgam Omar Abdullah on Wednesday advised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to focus on his party’s campaign in Jammu instead of Kashmir Valley.
Both the National Conference and the Congress are sharing a pre-poll alliance in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, with NC contesting 51 seats and Congress 32.
Omar said that the role of the Congress party is least important in Kashmir, but significant in Jammu. The party, however, has put minimal efforts into campaigning in the Jammu region and failed to meet the alliance expectations, he added.
“I hope after Rahul is done campaigning in one or two seats in Kashmir, he focuses on Jammu. Ultimately what the Congress does in Kashmir is not important. What the Congress does in Jammu is important. Unfortunately, Congress hasn’t done as much in the plains of Jammu as we would expect them to do,” said Omar after he voted in the second phase of elections.
