All India Congress Committee general secretary and National Conference-Congress coalition candidate Ghulam Ahmad Mir has been trying to wrestle back the Dooru constituency in Anantnag district from PDP, which won the seat in the 2014 assembly elections by a mere 161 votes. The former J&K Congress chief, who has also served as tourism minister in the J&K assembly, was the Dooru MLA in 2002 and 2008 before PDP’s Syed Farooq Ahmad Andrabi claimed the seat amid the party’s wave in 2014. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from south Kashmir’s Anantnag, Mir as well as Mehbooba Mufti lost to Hasnain Masoodi of National Conference.
