Congress Seeks Ministerial Seats in J&K?

In a notable political development, Rahul Gandhi recently held an extensive meeting with the Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir. During this discussion, the Congress leader articulated a firm demand for a significant role in the state government. He requested at least two ministerial positions to strengthen the party's influence and representation in the state. Additionally, he called for the appointment of a deputy speaker in the assembly, underscoring Congress's commitment to playing a pivotal role in the governance of Kashmir source says. This move reflects the party's strategic interests in enhancing its stature and impact in the region's political landscape. But the CM politely turned down the demand for the time being but ensured that will take care of Congress MLAs and also keep an eye on them to ensure that they do not jump the wagon and join the BJP source says.
