Ghulam Nabi Azad opts out of contest from prestigious Anantnag LS seat
This would have been the first election from his own party that Azad would have fought after quitting the Congress.
In a major boost to Ghulam Nabi Azad’s Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP), seven corporators of Congress in the Srinagar Municipal Corporation merged with DPAP.
Their joining with DPAP was held in the presence of Azad.
The corporators resolved to carry on the party agenda and said that if any political party can take the people out of prevailing chaos, that is DPAP, said a party spokesman.
