It is this equation which has helped him to secure a win many times. But, with the Congress party out of the power both in the State and the Centre it is proving to be an uphill task for the Azad.

Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Jan 29: National Conference, once the leading mainstream political party in the state is fast losing its base among the people since the party leaders are resorting to single line agenda these days in order to remain in news.
Instead of chalking out the future course of action as how to bounce back, the National Conference leaders are beating the bushes hoping against hope that people would like that but that seems to be a distant possibility as on date. These people have made their agenda of taking pot shots at Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) for allying with Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) for forming the next government in the state.
