Ghulam Nabi Azad, the former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and the current chairman of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP), has claimed that the Congress was winning elections due to his efforts in Delhi and various other states.
Azad made this claim while addressing a large public rally at Bhella in Doda district on Friday. He said that the Congress was “because of me” and that the elections it was winning were due to his “efforts and hard work.”
Azad also said that the Congress’s graph had gone “below” in recent years because the top leadership had failed to take lessons from the setbacks it had suffered in the past.
Azad’s claim is significant because he is a senior leader who has been associated with the Congress for over four decades. He has held several important positions in the party and in the government, including the post of Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir.
Azad’s claim is also significant because it comes at a time when the Congress is facing a severe existential crisis. The party has been losing elections consistently and its popularity has waned significantly in recent years.
It is unclear whether Azad’s claim is accurate. However, it is clear that he is trying to distance himself from the Congress and position himself as a viable alternative to the party. It is also clear that Azad is trying to appeal to the people of Jammu and Kashmir by promising to implement “revolutionary policies” in the region.
