The Congress party can present its claim on one of the four Rajya Sabha seats prescribed for the elections to be held in Jammu and Kashmir on 24 October. Senior leader Digvijay Singh is going to start a discussion with the alliance partner National Conference (NC) on this issue in the coming days.
Top Congress leaders have confirmed that former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh can ask for a seat for the party in the Rajya Sabha election. He said, “He will formally raise the issue with the National Conference.” He further said that Singh can talk to NC President Dr. Farooq Abdullah or Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on this issue.
Digvijay Singh entrusted responsibility
In April this year, the Congress high command entrusted Digvijay Singh to monitor the functioning of the Congress-NC alliance partnership in Jammu and Kashmir and involvement in the discussions related to it. Sources said that Singh has also been instructed to work closely with Jammu and Kashmir in-charge and State Congress Committee (PCC) President Tariq Hamid Karra on these matters. In the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, the NC-Congress alliance can easily win three of the four seats, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is in a strong position to win the remaining seats. In the present House, the ruling alliance has 53 members, while BJP has 28 members. The non-BJP opposition faction consists of seven MLAs-three of PDP, PC and one each and two independents.
Impact on politics of Jammu and Kashmir
The Rajya Sabha election is not only a matter of four seats, but it will also determine the politics of the coming days. If the alliance of Congress and NC remains strong, then it will also affect the politics of the Center. This is the opportunity for the Congress to strengthen its role in Jammu and Kashmir politics. The BJP would like it to further strengthen its support base in Jammu and Kashmir through its victory in this election.
