Srinagar, June 30: Kashmir based politicians who abandoned their parent parties in search of greener pastures seem to be grappling with the challenges of adjusting to their newfound political affiliations.
According to the sources many political leaders are disillusioned by their experiences and yearning for a sense of belonging, several of these politicians are now seeking to retrace their steps and return to their political roots.
“When these leaders left their parent parties they met with great fanfare and anticipation, as the politicians hoped to find a more conducive environment for their political aspirations. However, as time progressed, it became increasingly evident that their transitions were not as seamless as anticipated. Adjusting to new party ideologies, dynamics, and alliances proved to be a formidable challenge,” an analyst told Early Times.
He said, “The politicians found themselves navigating unfamiliar territories, struggling to align their beliefs and priorities with their new party's agenda. The lack of deep-rooted connections and rapport within the party ranks added to their sense of displacement. Now, many of these politicians are experiencing a change of heart and actively seeking a return to their political origins.”
An observer said, “As the politicians seek to rejoin their parent parties, they face mixed reactions. Some party members and leaders are open to their return, recognizing the need for unity in the face of regional challenges. Others, however, remain skeptical, questioning the loyalty and commitment of these politicians. The road to reintegration is fraught with challenges, and it remains to be seen whether bridges can be rebuilt and trust can be reestablished.”
“The very parties they once left are now viewed as havens of stability and familiarity. The politicians realize the importance of shared history, common goals, and trust that can only be built over time. Their return to their parent parties is seen as an attempt to regain a sense of identity, purpose, and a more solid foundation for their political careers,” he added. |
