In a significant political development in Ganderbal, GA Saloora, a prominent local leader, is reportedly preparing to join the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Credible sources informed Daily MAQSAD that PDP President Mehbooba Mufti is scheduled to visit Saloora’s residence in the coming days to formalize his induction into the party.
Saloora, who recently parted ways with Jammu and Kashmir United Movement (JKUM) just a few weeks ago, has been a prominent figure in Ganderbal’s political landscape. Before his brief stint with JKUM, he was affiliated with the National Conference (NC) for over 40 years. His long-standing association with NC has earned him considerable influence in the region.
When contacted by Daily MAQSAD, Saloora responded positively to the reports and expressed his openness to joining PDP. While he refrained from making an official statement, his response suggested that the discussions with Mehbooba Mufti are in advanced stages.
The move is seen as a strategic gain for PDP as it looks to strengthen its foothold in Ganderbal ahead of the upcoming elections. Saloora’s entry into PDP could shift the local political dynamics, especially given his vast political experience and support base in the district.
