Cong Crisis Deepens
3/12/2021 11:48:09 PM
Cracks within the Congress Party in Jammu and Kashmir are widening with each passing day. Senior party leader and former J&K chief minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad raising the banner of revolt against the party high command has sent the Congress leadership into tizzy.
The party high command asking the J&K unit of the Congress Party to act against the Azad loyalists, who have been boycotting official functions for the last few months, can aggravate the situation.
Dismal performance of the “grand old party” in the recently held District Development Council elections in J&K and many leaders shifting their turfs during the past few years has turned the Congress Party hollow.
The decision of the party to act tough against the leaders who are loyal to Azad could prove to be the last nail in its coffin at least in J&K as the veteran leader has made his intentions clear that he may float his own party in the newly carved out union territory.
Infighting in the faction ridden Congress had intensified after Azad visited J&K along with senior prominent faces of the dissident group, popularly known as G-23.
These leaders dropped enough hints to project Azad as an alternative to Rahul Gandhi. It appears that the battle lines have been drawn and in coming days more action is likely. The Congress Party not nominating Azad for Rajya Sabha again is a clear message to the dissident group that it has been pushed to the wall for demanding change in leadership of the party.
The G-23 group consists of the leaders, who have remained loyal to the party all throughout their lives but it appears that they don’t fit in the new scheme of things.
The Congress in Jammu and Kashmir is not finding it easy without Azad as he had held the party together in the region for the past so many years.
The party at present is in a mess. Sending notices to Azad’s loyalists is not going to help its cause. But reconciliation seems impossible as the party high command seems in no mood to accommodate the rebel group that was stripped of the party posts last year. Azad too was sidelined.
There is every possibility about the dissident group within the Congress Party springing a surprise at national level and the group led by Azad doing so in Jammu and Kashmir.
