Srinagar, June 08: National Conference today received yet another jolt when its former provincial vice-president, Darshan Sharma, rejoined Congress after 23 years alleging that the opposition party was "deeply entrenched in dynastic propagation" and was no more a people's party.
"I will resign today from the National Conference as I have joined the Congress," Sharma told reporters here.
Sharma follows former NC ministers Ajat Shatru Singh and R Chib and senior politician Govind Ram Sharma into the Congress fold.
Sharma said the National Conference was deeply entrenched in dynastic rule and the party top brass was not paying any attention to views from outside the Abdullah family.
He said the PDP-Congress coalition government, which assumed power last November, was sensitive to people's problems.
On his decision to rejoin the Congress, he said it was the "only party in the country which has the interests of Jammu and Kashmir close to its heart."
