| Azad phobia grips grand-old-party: Cong taunts former J&K CM after defeating BJP in Leh by-polls | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 17: Although Congress retained the seat in the by-poll by defeating the BJP candidate, the central leadership of the party mocked former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad after the declaration of the result.
From Ladakh to Delhi, Congress leadership is elated over retaining the Timisgam seat in the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) Leh.
Although the party has just retained the seat that it had won in the 2020 elections, Congress leadership seized this opportunity to taunt BJP for losing ground in Ladakh. While Leh Congress leader and member of LAHDC T Namgyal said that result is the outcome of peoples’ anger against denying the sixth schedule of the Constitution, the central leadership of the party called it a defeat for Modi, Shah, and Azad. “Here is some breaking news for Modi, Shah, and Azad. The Congress party has defeated the BJP by a convincing margin in the Temisgam bye-election to the Ladakh Hill Council. Congratulations to the Ladakh District Congress Committee!”, Jairam Ramesh, general secretary in-charge communications of the Congress party tweeted.
Earlier Jairam Ramesh mocked Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Ghulam Nabi Azad by comparing them with Mir Jafar, the mid-18th century nobleman who supported the British against Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daula.
“He is not only Assam Chief Minister... He is the villain of the BJP and is tasked to finish Congress, after getting everything from Congress...if somebody is like Mir Jafar, it is Himanta Biswa Sarma, there is one more Mir Jafar in Jammu and Kashmir, but he is Mir Jafar of the North East,”, he had stated.
“INC won the Temisgam Bye-Election at Leh-Ladakh by a huge margin! The DCC Leh team congratulates all the members of Congress Party Ladakh for their hard work and constant support! This is a humble birthday gift to Modi ji from Ladakh Congress!”, former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh tweeted after the declaration of the result.
Congress leader in the LAHDC-Leh T Namgyal said that today’s result is peoples’ verdict against the BJP which has failed to fulfill the aspirations and wishes of the Ladakhi people. He mentioned that the people of Ladakh are demanding sixth schedule of the Constitution to be extended in the region to protect jobs, land, and culture but the BJP failed in providing the same despite repeated demands and agitation. |
