After 'biting dust' in Maharashtra, Cong faces uphill task in J&K

Early Times Report

Jammu, Nov 24: After managing to win only 6 out of 90 seats in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, the Congress suffered yet another drubbing in Maharashtra.
Out of 288 seats the Congress managed to get only 16 seats, while the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) candidates won 10 seats and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) got 20 seats. The constituents of the Maha Vikas Aghadi had to bite the dust while the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance crossed the majority mark comfortably.
According to the political analysts, the Congress will have to paya heavy price for its defeat in Maharashtra. “It won’t be able to put across its point even in J&K as the party failed to get even 10 seats in the Union Territory and the defeat in Maharashtra has made it clear that the Congress is not in a position to enter into any sort of negotiations with its alliance partners anywhere,” said an observer.

CC general secretary K C Venugopal said that the assembly poll results in Maharashtra were ‘shocking’ and ‘unbelievable’.
“We don’t understand what happened. It was not just the debacle of the Congress party but that of the entire Maha Vikas Aghadi. Let us first get a clear picture of what has happened,” he said, adding, “We will collectively introspect shocking drubbing.”
After facing its worst ever defeat in the assembly elections in J&K, the Congress Party is trying to ascertain the causes of its defeat even in its citadels. “Just a few days ago the Congress Party had hinted at joining the Omar Abdullah led government in Jammu and Kashmir but the NC had outrightly rejected any plans of cabinet expansion in the near future,” said an observer.
Pertinently, even Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had made it explicitly clear that the Congress was not part of the National Conference-led government in Jammu and Kashmir.
