JAMMU: J&K Apni Party (JKAP) president Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari said on Monday that following the District Development Council (DDC) elections, constituents of the seven-party Peoples’ Alliance of Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), have been finding ways to get rid of each other.
Welcoming new entrants in the party fold at the JKAP office here on Monday, Bukhari said: “PAGD leaders had created a smokescreen for the public to mislead them. They are now exposed.”
Former deputy director, Indian System Medicine, Rohit Gupta was among those who joined JKAP on Monday.
“They have misled the people and are not being able to fulfil their promises now. To avoid embarrassing situations, they are hiding from the people,” he added.
“On the contrary, JKAP had contested elections promising development, restoration of statehood, employment, protection of land and jobs for locals in J&K. We never played divisive politics. We want unity in J&K and brotherhood among communities for a prosperous society,” said Bukhari.
