Resignation of Sham Lal Sharma due to internal crisis faced by the national party in J&K state is an eye opener .
Some internal source of party said that GA Mir busy in garning hush money in the guise of distributing tickets in the upcoming assembly elections with out taking the confidence of top brass in the state .
Congress cadre in Jammu unhappy with continuation of G A Mir as PCC Chief. Many in political circles pin hopes on Tariq Hameed Karra after he joined Congress party as he has proved his mettle in state politics and could revive the much derailed Congress in the state. Soon after joining Congress Tariq Hameed Karra started his political tours in Rajouri-Poonch thus gathering massive support from the people of border belt.
The resignation of top Congressman and strongman Sham Lal Sharma and joining of BJP is seen as failure of Congress leadership to give adequate space to Jammu based Congress leaders.
Karra is the leader who has maintained clean image throughout his political career and Congress should have given him the reins to lead Congress.
