And, it is here that the Congress is becoming unpopular by the day. The most important factor that has been working against the Congress in this province is the identification of the Jammu-based Congress ministers and leaders with the Kashmiri leadership. They have been behaving in a fashion that has only made the Dogras of Jammu province believe that their only duty is to endorse, respect and implement what the National Conference, which is leading the present government, does, suggests and s... | |
