Congress Faces Historic Low in Jammu and Kashmir Elections

In the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections, the Congress experienced its worst-ever performance in the region, winning only one out of 29 contested seats. Key party figures, including two working presidents, suffered defeats. The results prompted calls for feedback and analysis from party members to understand the loss.

The Congress party has faced its worst performance in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections, securing only one seat out of the 29 it contested in the Jammu region. This marks the lowest point for the party in the region's electoral history.

Despite entering the elections in a pre-poll alliance with the National Conference (NC) and fielding 32 candidates, the Congress could only manage a victory in the Rajouri seat. This is a stark contrast to their success in the previous elections where they won five seats.

Key Congress figures, including two working presidents and several former ministers, were defeated by BJP rivals. The party plans to gather detailed feedback from its members to understand the reasons behind this electoral debacle.
