According to sources, if the third front becomes a reality, then Azad may contest from Anantnag-Rajouri LS seat, Apni Party chief Altaf Bukhari from Srinagar seat and both DPAP and JKAP will support PC chairman Sajad Lone from Baramulla LS seat. Sajad Lone has already announced his candidature for Baramulla LS seat.Political commentators opined that if the third front emerges, it will pose a serious challenge for NC, which is insisting on contesting all three LS seats in the Valley as the party had won all of them in the 2019 polls. However, third front may make it difficult for the NC to retain all the seats.They said Azad’s entry from Anantnag-Rajouri seat may benefit BJP while Sajad Lone, with the support of Apni Party and Azad, may emerge as a strong competitor to NC from Baramulla seat.
