"AAP merely a party of UT Delhi," Ghulam Nabi Azad targets Kejriwal-led party, stands in support of Congress!

New Delhi, Nov 7: Former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Sunday (Nov 6) 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. ANI has quoted the leader saying that, "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 "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 Aug 26, Azad quit the 52-years-long association with the Congress party. Later, Azad announced his new political outfit 'Democratic Azad Party'. In his resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi, he had targeted party leadership, particularly Rahul Gandhi, over the way the party has been run in the past nearly nine years.
