Sajad Lone criticises NC for ‘shifting alliances’

Srinagar, Apr 19: Peoples Conference (PC) President Sajad Gani Lone on Friday criticized National Conference (NC) for shifting its alliances.

In a statement, Lone also had a dig on NC leader Omar Abdullah over what he called as his “good” and “bad” political remarks. He highlighted the “hypocrisy within the NC and their shifting alliances and differing perspectives depending on their position of power. “

Lone addressed the notion of “Good BJP” and “Bad BJP,” drawing attention to the dynamics of NC’s relationship with the BJP.

“When the NC is in alliance with the BJP and Omar makes a saffron debut by being the first Kashmiri to join the union cabinet led by the BJP that is what we call the good BJP. And it is so good to be the poster boy of the good BJP. When NC is rebuffed, and not entertained by the BJP - that is the bad BJP,” PC President said.

Lone also criticised NC for the recent statements from the Shiv Sena Unit indicating support for NC in the ongoing Lok Sabha election.

“When NC is in alliance with the Shiv Sena in the NDA from 1999 to2002 or in the current INDIA alliance that is the good Shiv Sena. And the good Shiv Sena will support NC in the ongoing Parliament elections. However, when the NC is not in alliance with the Shiv Sena, it is the bad Shiv Sena.
