NEW DELHI: With Congress in a position to be king-maker in as many as six districts, the party leadership has indicated that it may lend its support to the Gupkar alliance in the election of chairpersons in the District Development Councils in Jammu and Kashmir.
As per final results, the PAGD - comprising chiefly national conference and PDP - is short of numbers in Baramulla, Bandipur and Shopian in Kashmir and in Rajouri, Kishtwar, Ramban in Jammu region. However, with the support of Congress, which has won a few constituencies in these districts, the anti-BJP alliance is in a position to win the chairperson’s post. Here, Congress support will boost the opposition combine, which includes CPM, against BJP which is banking on independents to win control of DDCs that are otherwise out of its reach.
