Anantnag, April 14: Although Senior Congress leader and Jammu Kashmir state tourism Minister Ghulam Ahmad Mir, who is heading the campaign for the collation candidate in South Kashmir has broke the ice and organized a rally of its workers in Qammer dooru yesterday, The hurdles in the way of National conference candidate Mehboob Beg’s win seems to be increasing on each day.

Collation candidate is facing tough criticism on ground levels as well as in party leadership especially in South Kashmir, as Mehboob Beigh has finally decided to bring his son into the politics.

“Intentions of Mehboob Beg brining his son into state politics got exposed on the nomination paper filling day, when posters and hoardings of Dr Shab along with his own son were found fixed with fencing inside Dak banglow which was the venue for collation rally.” said, NC leader whishing anonymity.

He said that installed posters and hoardings were removed by an infuriated National conference leader on the grounds that party leaders were making them scapegoats just to encourage dynasty politics.

Beg’s son was included in Youth National Conference in year 2013, However he claims to be Vice President of party youth wing on his Face-book page which couldn’t be confirmed.

“If Mehboob Beg succeeds in defeating the PDP president Mehbooba Mufti he will dictate the party in South Kashmir and mostly like can reface the party setup.” He said.

NC leaders who believe that after win, Mehboob Beg can actively take part in finalizing the names for assembly polls; those constituency representatives have started adjusting themselves in Beg lobby.

Apart from Anantnag assembly constituency the party workers in other constituencies were party leaders have managed to make ground because of anti-incumbency of factor of sitting MLA’s, openly show the resentment before party leadership.

“We ask the question and definitely it is our right. What happened to MPLANDS funds? We are living our lives at high risk and if they can’t take care of the development of our areas for which we are voting, they must free the space.” said Mohmmad Saleem a noted political activist, adding his vote is for local NC leader not for candidate as he has not contributed in the development of their area.
