Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 5: After losing loyalists and finding no alliance partners the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) has announced to field its candidates from all the Lok Sabha constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir.
An analyst while talking to Early Times said, “The DPAP had appeared on the political arena of J&K with a bang as most of the Congress leaders and loyalists of former J&K chief minister had tendered their resignation from the grand old party and joined Azad. However, within a short span of time they realized that Azad can’t help them to sniff power again. They reversed their decision and went back to Congress.”
He said, “At present Azad’s party is left with a few senior leaders who can really make a difference on the ground level. All others are youngsters who still have a long way to go.”

He said, “Azad during the past few months has made attempts to find alliance partners but it seems that nothing has clicked for him. It appears that that’s the reason for his party announcing that it would field its candidates from all the Lok Sabha seats in J&K.”
Pertinently, a DPAP spokesman on Thursday in a statement said, “The DPAP will contest all the five parliamentary seats in Jammu and Kashmir in the upcoming elections.”
He said, "We also want assembly, panchayat and municipal elections to be conducted at the earliest. Our activists are going to the people and making them aware about the policies and developmental agenda of the party.” |
