A few months ago, after losing the government, the PDP President and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti had sidelined this particular politician following his criticism from the party colleagues. "Some of the senior leaders had been openly questioning his way of politics and had accused him of having ruined the party," the sources said. Sources said the party high command had a "second thought" and decided to get him back to prominence. "See he has not been good for our politics but he is a loyalist and Madam at this particular needs loyalists," said a PDP leader on the condition of anonymity.

From Tariq Karra to rebel Imran Ansari and his uncle Abid Ansari many of the senior leaders had been accusing this particular politician of having ruined the PDP.
