Congress faces setback as DDC member Bilal Ahmad Deva resigns ahead of elections

In a significant blow to the Jammu and Kashmir Congress, Bilal Ahmad Deva, the District Development Member (DDC) from Vessu in south Kashmir’s Qazigund, tendered his resignation from the party on Sunday. This development comes as a major setback for the party ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Addressing the media, Bilal Ahmad Deva expressed his dissatisfaction with the Congress, citing the party’s failure to address key issues as the primary reason for his resignation. He highlighted the inability of the party to effectively tackle and resolve pressing concerns, leading to his decision to step down from its basic membership.
Deva went on to criticize the leadership within the party, specifically pointing fingers at J&K Congress top leadership, accusing him of hijacking the party’s agenda. The resignation of a prominent DDC member signals a growing discontent within the party’s ranks, raising questions about its internal dynamics and leadership strategies.
When questioned about his future plans, Bilal Ahmad Deva revealed that he intends to contest the upcoming elections as an independent candidate. This move suggests a potential shift in political alliances and strategies in the region, with Deva choosing to distance himself from the Congress and pursue an independent political path.
As political dynamics continue to evolve in Jammu and Kashmir, the resignation of Bilal Ahmad Deva adds a new dimension to the political landscape, setting the stage for increased competition and realignment of political forces in the run-up to the parliamentary elections.
