Congress Workers express dismay over alliance in Kupwara In a recent statement, Congress district President Nazir Ahmad Lone expressed dismay over the party’s decision of alliance in Kupwara district. He highlighted the dissatisfaction among Congress workers regarding the mandates allocated in North Kashmir, particularly in the Langate constituency. According to Lone, the decision to only allocate Langate to the Congress party has left many questioning the rationale behind the alliance in Kupwara.Lone reiterated that the INC had the potential to secure victories in several constituencies within the district, emphasizing that at least three seats should have been allocated to the Congress. The party believed that it had strong candidates who could have emerged victorious in the election. Despite the Bharat Jodo Yatra creating a positive impact on voters and garnering support for the Congress, the decision to form a coalition with the National Conference (NC) had an adverse effect on the party’s performance in Kupwara.The Congress workers in North Kashmir have been vocal about their concerns regarding the coalition with the NC. Many feel that the decision to form an alliance has diluted the Congress wave in the district, ultimately leading to a less favorable outcome in the election. Lone emphasized that the workers are expressing their apprehensions over the mandates given to the Congress and urged party leaders to reconsider their decision.The dissatisfaction among Congress workers in North Kashmir over the mandates allocated in the district reflects the need for a strategic reassessment of the party’s approach. As the party seeks to navigate the complex political landscape of Kashmir, it is imperative for party leaders to heed the concerns of grassroots workers and reevaluate their coalition decisions to ensure a stronger and more unified Congress presence in the region.Lone appealed to prominent party leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge (AICC President), GA Mir (General Secretary AICC), Bharat Singh Solanki (AICC General Secretary J&K), Tariq Hamid Karra (State President JKPCC), and Vikar Rasool Wani (Former President CWC Member), to reassess the coalition decision. He believes that a reevaluation of the strategic alliance could potentially strengthen the Congress’s position in North Kashmir and uplift the morale of party workers.
