| 2- months after his resignation, Azad’s love for Congress revived again | | Says grand old party only can challenge BJP in Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 6: Apparently sending an olive branch to the Congress high command, former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Sunday praised Congress for its secular policy.
Over two months after severing 50-year relations with his party Ghulam Nabi Azad’s love for Congress again revived on Sunday when he said that only Congress could challenge Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh assembly elections, while Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is “merely a party of UT Delhi”.
Months after exiting the decades-long association with the Congress party, Azad said that he was not against its policy of secularism, but its weak party system.
While talking to a news agency at Azad said, “Although I have separated from Congress, I wasn’t against their policy of secularism. It was only due to the party’s system getting weakened. I would still want Congress to perform well in Gujarat and HP Assembly polls. AAP isn’t capable to do so”.
Exuding confidence in the Congress, he said that the party takes a long everybody, Hindu, and Muslim farmers. He said that Aam Aadmi Party can’t do anything in these states, they have failed in Punjab and the people of Punjab will not vote for them again.
In a scathing attack on Aam Aadmi Party, Azad said that it is “AAP is merely a party of UT Delhi. They can’t run Punjab efficiently, only Congress can challenge BJP in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh as they have an inclusive policy”.
On Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman hinting at the Centre thinking of restoring State status to J&K, he said that he had taken this issue many times and if Centre Government will do that’s a welcome step.
Ghulam Nabi Azad is on a tour of Doda where he will be meeting many delegations and addressing many rallies in the coming days.
Earlier on August 26, Azad quit the 52-years-long association with the Congress party. While in October, Azad announced his new political outfit “Democratic Azad Party”. |
