15 in fray in 3 constituencies
Srinagar, April 10 The main contest would be between the National Conference and the PDP, while its Congress ally has not fielded any candidate in any of the three constituencies for the coalition candidates. Of the 15 candidates, seven are contesting the Sangrama seat and four each Pattan and Rafiabad constituencies. The PDP has fielded Javed Ahmad Beigh, a nephew of Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Hussain Beigh from the Sangrama constituency, much to the resentment of a section of the PDP led by former minister Ghulam Hassan Mir. The opposition National Conference did not field its candidate from the constituency and decided to support the Independent candidate, Shoaib Lone, a son of the slain former minister, Dr Ghulam Nabi Lone, of the PDP, which led to the vacancy. Others in the fray include Sonaullah Beigh of the Panthers Party, Javed Qureshi of the RLD and three Independents, Zafrullah Beigh, Abdul Rehman Lone and Ghulam Mohammad Bhat. There is going to be a direct contest between the candidates of the PDP and the National Conference in the Rafiabad and Pattan constituencies. The former National Conference MLA who quit the party and the Assembly to join the ruling PDP, Mr Dilawar Mir, is pitted against the NC’s Mohammad Maqbool Mir from the Rafiabad constituency. There are two other Independent candidates, Mohammad Maqbool War and Abdul Khaliq Sheikh. In the Pattan constituency, the NC has fielded its former minister, Dr Mustafa Kamaal, who is pitted against Moulvi Iftikhar Hussain Ansari of the PDP.
