Early Times Report

Jammu, Aug 26: After resigning from Congress, Ghulam Nabi Azad is going to float a new political party in Jammu and Kashmir.
Ghulam Nabi Azad rejected speculation that he would join the BJP after quitting Congress. Azad said he would form a party.
It was in December 2021 when Azad had dropped hints to form his own party in J&K to contest the coming assembly elections.
Sources said that after completing in the mass-contact programme in whole J&K, Azad had decided to float a new political party because he was feeling suffocated in Congress due to the attitude of Rahul Gandhi.
Although Azad had denied forming a new political party to contest assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, he said that anything can happen in politics. Azad has the potential to spoil the party’s prospects in the coming assembly elections.
Wishing anonymity the Congress leader said that Ghulam Nabi Azad was not in a hurry to take any decision. “Azad was exploring all possibilities, he is in touch with leaders of other parties also”, he said but Azad has given a clear message to his supporters about the formation of a new party.
Even in December 2021, Azad had launching a veiled attack on incumbent Congress leadership headed by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. He said “unlike the time of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, there is no place for criticism today”.
“No one is challenging the leadership. Perhaps, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Ji had given me too much freedom to question when things were going wrong. They would never mind criticism. They would not see it as offensive. Today the leadership sees it as offensive,” Azad had told a news channel quoting which was a clear indication that he was going to say Good-bye to any time.
Azad had recalled that Indira Gandhi had encouraged him when he refused to appoint two people she recommended as general secretaries in the Youth Congress.
“When Rajiv Gandhi joined politics, Indira Gandhi called both of us and told Rajiv Gandhi that Ghulam Nabi can even say no to me, but that No doesn’t mean disobeying or disrespect, that’s for the good of the party. Today, No one is ready to listen to that no. For saying no you become nobody today,” he had stated.
“No one can say what will happen next in politics like no one knows when he will die. In politics, no one can predict what will happen next,” Azad had replied to the query regarding the formation of a new political party.
