Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 15: After the Congress suffered a humiliating defeat in the Bihar Assembly elections, demands have intensified within the party’s Jammu and Kashmir unit for the immediate release of the long-pending fact-finding report on the party’s performance in the 2024 J&K Assembly polls. Party insiders say the report has been “gathering dust” for over a year due to pressure from influential leaders who fear its findings may trigger internal unrest.
In the aftermath of its worst-ever electoral debacle in the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, the Congress high command had, on October 18, 2024, constituted a panel to examine the reasons behind the party’s collapse and recommend corrective measures.
The Jammu & Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President, Tariq Hameed Karra, in consultation with the All India Congress Committee (AICC) leadership, had set up a high-powered fact-finding committee to identify the factors that led to the party’s defeat across the Jammu region and suggest steps for organisational strengthening.
The committee was mandated to submit its report within 30 days. However, more than a year later, its findings are yet to be released, leading to frustration among party workers who believe crucial insights have been deliberately withheld.
Senior party leader Ravinder Sharma was appointed Chairman of the committee, with Jehangir Mir, Naresh Gupta, Thakur Balwan Singh, Shah Mohammad Chowdhary, Ved Mahajan, and Dina Nath Baghat serving as its members.
Shockingly, one of the members of the fact-finding committee, Dina Nath Bhagat was passed away in September this year.
Sources within the party claim that despite completing its groundwork months ago, the report has remained under wraps due to resistance from certain influential leaders who are reluctant to allow scrutiny of their roles in the electoral debacle.
As the demand for transparency grows louder following the Bihar setback, grassroots Congress workers and mid-level leaders argue that making the report public is essential for rebuilding the organisation ahead of future electoral battles. |
