Ch Lal Singh joins Congress; likely to contest from Udhampur

Ch Lal Singh Returns to Congress; Eyes Udhampur Seat

Ch Lal Singh, who had left the Congress after the 2014 general elections to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is making a significant comeback. Serving as a minister in the PDP-BJP coalition government, his return to the grand-old party is poised to shake up the political landscape.

A Potential Game-Changer in Udhampur

As a two-time Member of Parliament (MP) from Udhampur, Singh’s re-entry into the Congress fold is anticipated to provide a substantial boost to the party’s prospects. This move comes at a critical juncture, particularly in the face of Dr. Jitendra Singh’s candidacy on the BJP ticket from the same constituency.

A Contest of Titans

Singh’s candidacy promises to inject excitement into the electoral race for the Udhampur seat. With a strong base in his native Kathua district and Congress’s favorable standing in Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban districts, the competition is set to intensify.

The direct confrontation between Singh and Jitendra Singh, coupled with the participation of DPAP’s Ghulam Muhammad Saroori, adds layers of complexity to the electoral dynamics.Udhampur is slated to witness a pivotal showdown in the initial phase of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on April 19, setting the stage for a riveting political spectacle.
