After all senior leaders quit party, Cong facing uphill task | Fails to mobilize people, organize big rallies | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 12: As the majority of the mass-based leaders have quit the party to join the newly floated Democratic Azad Party of Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Congress in Jammu province finds it difficult to hold big rallies. During the recently held programmes, the Congress party failed to mobilize the masses because prominent faces have already left the party. Most of the senior party leaders and workers have left Congress and joined the Democratic Azad Party. In Jammu province, mass-based leaders like Raman Bhalla are appeared to be overburdened because the party is trying to utilize his popularity in all functions of the Jammu district. Prominent faces of Congress in J&K namely Deputy Chief Minister Tarachand, former minister GM Saroori, Dr. Manohar Lal Sharma, Jugal Kishor, Balwan Singh, former minister Taj Mohiuddin, former state Congress chief Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed, and more than two dozen leaders and hundreds of workers have already joined Azad’s party. In Jammu province, only four former MLAs and ex-ministers namely Raman Bhalla, Yogesh Sawhney, Mula Ram, and Shabir Khan are in the Congress while all other ex-MLAs and former ministers have resigned from the party. While Congress's aggressive and popular face in Jammu province, Sham Lal Sharma had joined BJP during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, other former ministers and ex-MLAs have left the party to join the Democratic Azad Party of Ghulam Nabi Azad. Not only senior leaders even many District Development Councils (DDC) members, Block Development Council (BDC) members, and Panchayat members have also left Congress and joined Ghulam Nabi Azad's party. |
