Srinagar, Oct 17, KNT: Iltija Mufti, media advisor to People’s Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti, on Friday launched a sharp attack on the National Conference (NC) government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, accusing it of deliberately ignoring the concerns of Open Merit students while using policy announcements for electoral advantage.
In a post on the social media platform X, Iltija said it was “dreadfully obvious” that the NC government had no intention of fulfilling its long-pending promises to the student community. She alleged that the renewed attention on the sub-committee report on reservations was nothing more than political optics designed to influence voters ahead of the upcoming Budgam polls.

“The NC government has no intention to fulfill its lingering broken promises to Open Merit students. The suspicious timing of the sudden momentum on the sub-committee report is sheer optics to sway public opinion before the crucial Budgam polls,” Iltija wrote.

She further questioned whether young voters would again allow the ruling party to “pull wool over their eyes,” pointing to what she described as a pattern of unkept assurances. “The question is, will people, especially young voters of Budgam, allow NC to pull wool over their eyes yet again?” she asked in her post.
