Likely to contest from Ganderbal seat Fayaz Bukhari SRINAGAR, Aug 25: National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah today said that People’s Democratic Party (PDP) agenda is the same as of his party and asked Mehbooba Mufti to not field candidates against NC-Congress nominees for the betterment of Jammu and Kashmir. Omar’s remarks came during his address to NC workers in Ganderbal a day after Mufti said the PDP would extend complete support to the Congress- NC alliance and leave all seats in the elections for the coalition if it accepts her party’s agenda. Omar claimed that the PDP has copied his party’s manifesto and asked Mufti-led party to not field candidates against NC-Congress nominees.
He said the NC has prepared an extensive manifesto for the Assembly polls which has been copied by other parties. “We have not left out anything in the manifesto. Today, everyone has copied our manifesto.
They should have kept some differences,” he said. Omar said his party promised to provide 200 free units of electricity if it comes to power and “they (PDP) also said they will provide 200 units”. “We said we will provide one lakh Government jobs in the first year, they also put that in their manifesto.
We talked about reopening (cross-LoC) routes, it is in their manifesto as well. We talked about keeping the doors of dialogue open and they also said so. Almost everything that my colleagues put in our manifesto, they also put it,” he said.
