| As soon as Rajni Patil lands in Jammu, Tara Chand gives big jolt to Congress | | Resigns along with 63 other leaders including ex-ministers, legislators, senior office bearers | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 30: It appears to be part of a scripted plan to submit mass resignations as soon as Rajya Sabha member Rajni Patil landed in Jammu because Rahul Gandhi has assigned her job to lure loyalists of Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Although Tara Chand and other leaders were already in touch with Azad, they intentionally decided to submit mass resignations on that particular day when AICC incharge of J&K reached Jammu along with newly appointed PCC president Vikar Rasood Wani.
Giving a big jolt to the party more than 64 senior Congress leaders, including former Jammu and Kashmir deputy chief minister Tara Chand, resigned from the party.
Interestingly these senior leaders submitted their resignations when Rajni Patil- the special emissary of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, landed in Jammu to open channels of communications with the loyalists of Azad.
Former Deputy Chief Minister and ex-speaker of J&K Legislative Assembly Tara Chand, former ministers Abdul Majid Wani, Dr. Manohar Lal, Choudhary Garu Ram, and Thakur Balwan Singh are prominent Congress leaders who resigned from the party to extend support to Azad.
The resignation of Tara Chand is a big jolt for Congress because it was only last week, that he had attended the coronation of the newly appointed J&K Congress president Vikar Rasool Wani. After attending the coronation function at Srinagar, it was widely believed that Tara Chand has shifted his loyalty but he submitted his resignation on Tuesday.
A three-time MLA, Tara Chand was earlier a Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader in the assembly of the erstwhile state of J&K. He was Deputy Chief Minister during the NC-Congress regime from 2008 to 2014 and Speaker during the PDP-Congress coalition government from 2002 to 2008.
Although loyalists of Ghulam Nabi Azad were in touch with their leader, they decided to submit mass resignations when Rahul Gandhi’s special emissary Rajni Patil reached Jammu to hold dialogue with dissidents.
Amid a spree of resignations, the party high command has asked Rajya Sabha member Rajni Patil to contact loyalists of Azad in J&K.
Rajni Patil is the All India Congress Committee (AICC) incharge of the J&K unit of the Congress party. Rajni Patil reached Jammu on Tuesday afternoon with the newly appointed Jammu and Kashmir Congress president Vikar Rasool Wani.
As reported earlier, in the wake of a spate of resignations by loyalists of Ghulam Nabi Azad, the central leadership has asked Rajni Patil to open a channel of communication with those who owe their allegiance to the former leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha. It was decided that Congress leadership will contact those loyalists of Azad who have yet not submitted their resignations. |
