Amid DDC polls clutter Cong leaders missing from scene 12/12/2020 12:01:36 AM Early Times Report jammu, Dec 11: The Congress Party in Jammu and Kashmir is at crossroads as most of its leaders seem to be clueless about what future holds for them. An analyst while talking to Early Times said, "The Congress leaders have been unable to make their presence felt on the ground. The party showing no interest in the ongoing District Development Council elections has put a question mark over the role of Congress's leadership in the union territory." He said that ongoing DDC elections were a very important development as these were the maiden polls to be held in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370. "The results of these elections will set tone and tenor for the forthcoming democratic exercises in J&K. But the Congress seems to have conceded defeat even without taking part in the battle," the analyst added. It's in place to mention here that the Congress Party shared power in J&K for 12 consecutive years i.e. from 2002 to 2014. First it shared power with Peoples Democratic Party and then with the National Conference. "Despite ruling J&K amidst turmoil today we hardly find any leaders except a few," said an observer. He said, "The Congress was more vibrant in Jammu than in Kashmir but it seems that during the past six years it has lost its footing completely. Many Congress leaders in Jammu have changed their sides and the ones who are still loyal to the grand old party have gone into hibernation. Former Congress ministers and stalwarts have lost their addresses." "The Congress Party will have to work very hard to make a comeback in Jammu region. Many smaller parties have emerged in the summer capital and are projecting themselves as an alternative for the grand old party of India." He said, "Congress is not only struggling in J&K it's facing uncertainty across the country. The biggest problem which the party is facing is leadership crisis. It needs a leader who can pull the party out from the quagmire of uncertainty."   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
