The Congress, already grappling with internal divisions and leadership challenges at the national level, has faced another blow in Maharashtra.
However, the Congress’s eroding strength has raised questions about its viability as a dependable ally. According to political observers, the NC may seize this opportunity to sideline Congress’ influence in J&K’s political affairs.
“Given the Congress’s poor performance in Maharashtra, it is likely that the NC will re-evaluate its approach to the alliance,” said a senior political analyst. “The National Conference has always prioritized regional interests, and with the Congress losing ground, the NC may feel less compelled to accommodate its demands.” In J&K, the Congress has struggled to maintain its relevance in the face of shifting political dynamics. The party’s weakening national stature further diminishes its ability to negotiate from a position of strength.
Sources within the NC suggest that the party is unlikely to give the Congress much importance in the upcoming electoral strategy. |
