Bhau Singh, Ex-Minister of Jammu and Kashmir cabinet, describing Azad as apt candidate for the seat said that the development that has been witnessed during Azad's tenure as Chief Minister is unforgettable in all the three regions of the state including Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.

So the decision of the High Command is the decision of commoners", said former Minister Prem Sagar Aziz who hails from Bani. Similarly Jugal Kishore, now MLC and former Minister said that candidature of Azad Saheb is well in the interest of general public and his victory is obvious because of his ground level knowledge of the areas falling in the Lok Sabha seat.
