‘Nominating candidate from Kashmir is AAP’s cheap publicity stunt’

Srinagar: Not impressed by the Aam Admi Party (AAP) political expedition in Kashmir, Dr Mustafa Kamal, additional general secretary of National Conference on Friday termed Arwind Kejriwal an ‘anarchist who is hungry of cheap publicity for his electoral gains in the country’.

Talking to KNS, Dr Kamal said that by way of nominating Raja Muzaffar Bhat from Srinagar-Budgam parliamentary constituency, the AAP wants to gain publicity at the national level. “This is a cheap publicity stunt from AAP. Kejriwal could not handle Delhi, who can he handle the country.”

Dr Kamal said that Kejriwal has proven utter failure as the chief minister of Delhi. “He could not run the capital but he is dreaming of leading the country. Kejriwal is an anarchist.”

On making nominations against Dr Farooq Abdullah in Srinagar-Budgam Parliamentary constituency, the NC additional general secretary said that may be AAP will fetch few votes as according to Kamal everybody is not a supporter of National Conference.

“Otherwise, Kejriwal has a zero stand in Jammu and Kashmir.  By fielding a candidate against Dr Farooq Abdullah, he wants to make a news in the country and gain few votes. Kejriwal should understand that he is not even upto the knees of Dr Farooq Saheb,” Kamal stressed.

He said that he does not know the AAP candidate nominated from Srinagar. “Yes, I have heard that he is a former PDP man. But these people always want to remain in greener pastures and actually they don’t have any standing.” (KNS)
