1st phase of J&K polls Wednesday. PDP’s Iltija Mufti is contesting from Bijbehara, Afzal Guru’s brother Aijaz from Sopore, and Engineer Rashid’s brother Sheikh Khursheed from Langate.
Daughter of ex J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti, Iltija says she isn't trying to carry the 'mantle forward' but to 'revive' People’s Democratic Party. She'll fight from family's home turf Bijbehara.
Mufti, daughter of former J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, has alleged she was denied a passport after an ‘adverse report’ by J&K Police’s CID department.
At her family’s Gupkar Road home, Iltija Mufti sits down to talk business, BJP, and Nupur Sharma. She wants to be more than Mehbooba Mufti’s daughter now.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
