Ghulam Nabi Hanjura, who defeated National Conference stalwart Abdul Rahim Rather in 2014 assembly polls, is currently the third senior-most leader in the PDP after Mehbooba Mufti and Abdul Rehman Veeri.
SRINAGAR: The most voluble votary of the campaign for restoration of J&K s special status has, ironically, ended up with the least to brag about in terms of seats won by the People s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration that had fought the DDC polls on this very plank.
Although former CM Mehbooba Mufti s PDP s tally of 27 out of 68 seats is the second best after National Conference s 67 among the Gupkar alliance constituents, it pales in comparison to what Sajad Lone’s People s Conference achieved. The latter contested just 11 seats and won eight of them.
The skewed seat-sharing, with NC hogging the lion s share of 169 seats, may have hurt PDP s performance as much as the burden of the past.
