“We failed to mobilise our grassroots workers to vote for NC as Dooru is stronghold of Congress and has never voted for the NC,” he said.
Ghulam Hassan Mir, who is minister in the state government on Congress quota, said it was very difficult for him to transfer the vote of his supporters to NC.
“It was difficult for me to transfer the votes in NC's favour as during the past decade, my supporters have always stood against the National Conference. I worked really hard and made repeated pleas to the people to vote for the NC candidate but it is ultimately for them to decide,” Mir said.
