‘Parliamentary elections in J&K post-Art 370 abrogation will be an interesting observation’

Pulwama, Mar 21: With the anticipation mounting for the upcoming parliamentary elections in Jammu and Kashmir, political analysts are closely observing the shifting dynamics post the reconfiguration of parliamentary constituencies and the emergence of new political entities following the abrogation of Article 370.
Experts speculate that the electoral landscape in the Kashmir division will primarily witness a contest between the National Conference (NC) and other political contenders.
Gulzar Ahmad, a seasoned analyst based in south Kashmir, said that the NC holds a distinct advantage in the Srinagar Parliamentary constituency. However, he hinted at potential surprises in the Anantnag-Rajouri constituency.
Ahmad pointed out the challenge posed by a potential alliance between the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP), Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP), and Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference (JKPC) in the Baramulla constituency, which could pose a formidable threat to the NC.
“Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which secured victories in Srinagar, Baramulla and Anantnag constituencies in 2014, has witnessed significant defections and may not enjoy the same popularity among voters as it did previously,” he said, adding that the first elections in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 will be an interesting observation.
Residents across south Kashmir’s Pulwama district expressed varied opinions on their electoral priorities.
Irshad Ahmad said that voters will prioritise critical issues such as development, employment generation, and essential amenities like electricity, water, and roads. “Voter turnout will be higher than in previous parliamentary elections as people want their voices heard through their votes,” he said.
Tufail Khan, representing the Pahari community from the far-flung Sangerwani village, praised the BJP-led government for granting Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to their community, citing potential benefits for employment and scholarships.
“The ST status will help our children in employment and grant of scholarships,” he said, adding that as the ST status was granted to them by the BJP-led government at the Centre, so they would vote for the party in droves.
For Ghulam Nabi from Pulwama, the choice extends beyond party lines. He stressed the importance of selecting a candidate acceptable to the voters of the region, irrespective of party affiliations.
“There is a need for a candidate who wields influence in the higher echelons of political power and can effectively represent the interests of the people,” he said.
