Congress (S) shenanigans

Latest comment: 18 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

1978-80 was a confusing time, but not all members of the congress (U) went into the Congress (S). Jagjivan Ram was part of urs' party, and he split away first; YB Chavan left the party, anticipating a return to the Congress (I). The Congress (U) deserves its own page as the first proto-Third Front type thing, an national alliance of pure regional leaders. The rump of the Congress (U) did in fact become the Congress (S), but after its ranks were decimated and Sharad Pawar assumed command. Hornplease 00:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

It is not necessary that all original INC(U) members went along until the transformation into Congress (S) to merge the two pages. The Jagjivan split occured when Urs was still the party leader, and his departure does not affect the issue of an article merger (I hade an article on Congress (Jagjivan)). I cannot track exactly went Chavan left the party, put I don't see that Congress (U) would have been dissolved and that Congress (S) would have been a separate reorganisation. Thus Congress (U) changed name to Congress (S), thus it is one and same party and should have one article. --Soman 08:12, 11 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Between May and September the Congress (U) lost most of its legislators in Maharashtra and the North and many of those in Karnataka as well, causing Urs himself to step down. The remainder of the party gathered for its conference and chose not to petition the election commission for recognition as the congress (u), along with its symbol etc. So in that sense as well, it was a completely new party. It was a 'successor' party in some sense. Carry out the following analogous thought experiment: if the CPI post-1962 had chosen to rename itself the CPI (Soviet), and to renounce any claim to the name and symbol of the undivided party, would we choose to merge articles for the undivided CPI and the CPI (Soviet), given also that a vast proportion of the undivided CPI had walked out?
