Congress must rethink its alliance with National Conference: Mehbooba Mufti
Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday said National Conference leader Chaudhary Mohammad Akram equating the Congress with the BJP should make the workers of the country's oldest political party think about their support to the oldest regional party in Jammu and Kashmir. «Chaudhary Akram could not have said anything worse than equating the Congress with the BJP while joining the National Conference. He said that there was no difference between the Congress and the BJP,» Mufti told reporters while campaigning in the Larnoo area of Anantnag district. The former chief minister said it was unfortunate that Akram chose to describe the Congress in that way.
«His father (Chaudhary Mohammad Aslam) was in Congress. I don't understand how the Congress workers would support the NC. The NC leadership used to refer to Congress workers as 'gandi naali kay keeday' (the worms of the gutter). They used to face social boycott,» she said, referring to a period in the 80s when the two parties were at loggerheads.
«This is for the Congress workers to think about. They have to support the NC (in this election) but they (Akram) are calling them the B team of the BJP,» she added.
