JKPCC on brink as leadership war turns ferocious

July 30, 2025

The battle over Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) leadership has become more intense ever since its current chief Tariq Hamid Karra led a handpicked team of leaders and workers to Delhi for a protest at Jantar Mantar in support of reinstating Statehood.

This led to the battle lines between the rival groups becoming sharper as Karra has done nothing to keep the party united during his tenure so far. In fact, he, through his cronies, has fanned factionalism by sidelining senior, established and influential leaders.

There has been a near total revolt against Karra in the Kashmir unit while the Jammu unit has also been in shambles.

Karra, a former PDP leader who joined the Congress in 2017, was appointed President of Jammu & Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) on August 16, 2024, replacing Vikar Rasool Wani just before the assembly elections. This move took everyone surprise but further shock was in reserve as the new incumbent, arrogant and bureaucratic by nature, failed to take everyone along and unite the party to face the formidable BJP, particularly in Jammu region.
