Satish raises banner of revolt as Cong prefers Tara Chand on Chhamb seat
Assembly Elections
9/12/2024 11:16:37 PM
Early Times Report

Jammu, Sep 12: Although Congress high command released the last list of candidates just a few hours before the expiry of the time for filing nomination papers to check rebellion, youth leader Satish Sharma raised a banner of revolt and filed his nomination papers from Chhamb Assembly segment.
Enraged over the deceitful tactics of party leadership by announcing a mandate for former Deputy Chief Minister on Wednesday midnight, Satish Sharma, son of veteran Congress leader late Madan Lal Sharma filed his papers as an Independent candidate.
With hundreds of his supporters, Satish Sharma took out an impressive rally before filing his nomination papers on the Chhamb Assembly segment which was the home constituency of his father Madan Lal Sharma.
Fearing a revolt by a youth leader Satish Sharma, the Congress high command issued the last list of party candidates at the eleventh hour on late Wednesday evening.
As September 12th was the last day for filing nomination papers, Congress’s high command issued a list on the intervening night of September 11 and 12 so that the annoyed leader could not file his
nomination papers.
On late Monday evening, K C Venugopal released a list of Congress candidates for the third and final phase of the Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir but the name of the former Deputy Chief Minister mysteriously missing from the list.
Tara Chand, ex-Deputy Chief Minister and former Speaker of the Legislative Assembly was adamant about contesting elections on the Chhamb Assembly segment which is now opened from the general category.
The Congress party, on the other hand, has asked Tara Chand to contest the election from the Akhnnoor (reserved) Assembly segment.
Tara Chand was seeking a mandate on the Chhamb Assembly segment but his candidature is opposed by youth leader Satish Sharma.
Tara Chand represented the Chhamb Assembly segment in 1996, 2002, and 2008 but now this segment has been opened for the general category.
Sources said that the party wanted him to shift to the neighbouring Akhnoor Assembly segment reserved for the Scheduled Caste but the former Deputy Chief Minister was adamant about the Chhamb seat.
Once a loyalist of Ghulam Nabi Azad, Tara Chand resigned from the Congress and joined Azad’s Democratic Progressive Azad Party in September 2022.
Within three months after joining the party, Tara Chand dumped his political mentor Ghulam Nabi Azad, and returned to the Congress party.
Satish Sharma, son of two-time Lok Sabha member from Jammu seat late Madan Lal Sharma, exhibited his strength by organizing an impressive show on last week.
By showing his strength Satish Sharma had given a clear message to the Congress leadership that ignoring him for the Chhamb assembly segment would be disastrous for the party in two Assembly seats of Akhnoor sub-division.
