Results of DDC chairpersons’ posts not a surprise: Omar Abdullah

Srinagar, Feb 07 (PTK): National Conference Vice President and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Sunday that the results of the election of the Chairman of District Development Councils (DDC) in Jammu and Kashmir were not surprising.

On social site Twitter, Omar wrote that the results from both Shopian and Srinagar are not surprising. These people have been buying and selling public representatives since 1984. He wrote tauntingly that consistent practice makes a person perfect.

In the first phase, former minister Altaf Bukhari’s own party was successful in making its chairman in two districts Srinagar and Shopian in the elections for three districts in Kashmir division.

The National Conference alleged that Jammu and Kashmir his party started breaking up political parties in December last year after the results of the District Development Council election.

Party spokesman Imran Nabi Dar tweeted that this party had got only two seats in Shopian district. After the election results came, he started breaking candidates of other parties and got his chairman.

 “King’s party which won only 2 DDC seats in Shopian distt, engineered defections post elections and are now heading the DDC Council there. Similarly in Srinagar, the party won just 3 seats and managed to take control of the district. Isko bolte hai democracy is aisi ki taisi (sic),” NC spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar wrote on Twitter.  (PTK)
