Srinagar, Oct 8: PDP leader Iltija Mufti, who lost in her electoral debut from the Bijbehara seat in south Kashmir, on Tuesday (October 8, 2024) denied that her party lost because of alliance with the BJP and said there was an assault on the PDP.
She said multiple factors led to her defeat at the hands of National Conference (NC) leader Bashir Ahmad Veeri.
. Iltija, daughter of PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, said she took a risk which did not pay off. “It was not just about me. There were multiple factors. Our party was broken, we lost our seats to NC because, in the valley, the people would choose either the NC or the PDP. This time, they decided to give NC a chance, and the benefit of the PDP being torn apart was reaped by the NC,” she said.
