| Cong high command may not ask Omar to quit | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 17: Congress high command may not ask Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, to step down on the ground that the ruling coalition candidates lost all the six constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir. Informed sources said that the Congress high command may direct the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, and the Congress ministers to review their working and improve governance so that people could discern some improvement in security scenario, and take in hand measures that could reduce the level of unemployment and energy crisis.Party sources said that the NC-Congress coordination committee may convene a meeting shrtly to discuss the f actors that led to the defeat of the Congress and the NC candidates in the Lok Sabha election. The meeting may recommend st eps that the Government should take in hand for tackling corruption, unemployment, energy shortage.
Senior NC and Congress leaders have suggested to the top party leaders to stop indulging in blame game and improve governance because poor governance had been the main factor behind peoples' anger against the Congress and the NC.
Party sources said that senior leaders belonging to both the Congress and the NC were not keen to snap ties at this juncture. They want the arrangement to continue and Omar Abdullah may not be told to quit while owning moral responsibility for the defeat of the coalition candidates.
One report said that the Congress may not get the support from the PDP for running the Government in case the Congress snapped ties with the NC. The PDP, which is riding on the Mufti wave, would like to have a situation in which early Assembly election could be ordered and if that was done the PDP could cash on peoples' anger against the Congress and the NC. However, political observers are of the opinion that even if the Assembly poll was preponed peoples' response was not going to be similar to the one they displayed during the Lok Sabha election. |
