SRINAGAR, May 18: Indian National Congress, the oldest political party in the country is up against multiple odds following the decimation at the hands of Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in the Lok Sabha 2014 elections.
The state unit of Congress is not far behind as it too faced debacle from BJP. Its candidates were defeated hands down by the BJP candidates with Dr. Jitendra Singh turning out to be 'giant killer' from the Jammu division like Tariq Hameed Karra from the Kashmir division.
Dr. Singh forced a seasoned politician like Ghulam Nabi Azad to eat humble pie as he emerged victorious from Udhampur-Doda Lok Sabha seat. Quite contrary to the expectations the Congress ... | |

Jammu, May 18: After riding high on Modi wave, Bharatiya Janta Party's (BJP) mission Jammu and Kashmir (Mission 44+) will be a distant dream unless the delimitation commission report prepared by various commissions from time to time is implemented in totality. The implementation of the report is likely to tilt the balance in favor of Jammu region in Legislative Assembly as far as number of seats is concerned. It shall also open doors for Jammu based parties to rule the state for the betterment and upliftment of its areas and people.
Demands for fresh delimitation of assembly segments had been made at occasions, more particularly by the people from Jammu region. Bharatiy... | |

JAMMU, May 18: That Union Health Minister and former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad will lose the election very badly was a foregone conclusion, but no one had imagined that he would perform only relatively better than the BJP in Kishtwar, Ramban and even Reasi district - all the newly-created districts.

SRINAGAR, May 18: While Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is trying to put up a brave face, owning up responsibility for the poll debacle, the rank and file of the party has disappeared into oblivion.
Nawai Subah, National Conference headquarter still presents a ghostly look given its drubbing in the parliamentary elections.

The people of the valley, particularly the youth, seem to have risen against its anti people policies. "The party failed to handle challenges that arose from time to time to time, through a humane approach. Instead of giving relief to the people, i... | |
