Overview

• Mehbooba Mufti has criticized the National Conference-led government for failing to make progress on its electoral promises, including job creation and utility subsidies, six months into its tenure.
• She accused the NC of aligning with the BJP, particularly on the contentious Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which she claimed undermines Muslim representation and sentiments in Jammu and Kashmir.
• Mufti alleged that the NC is avoiding discussions on Article 370 and running a governance model similar to the previous Lieutenant Governor administration, focused on power struggles rather than public issues.
• The PDP leader also accused the NC of betraying the Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), weakening regional unity post-2019.
• Calling for public support, Mufti positioned the PDP as the voice for Jammu and Kashmir's people and the broader Muslim community, aiming to counter what she described as NC's failures.
