Ghulam Nabi Azad, a former leader of the Congress, claimed on Sunday that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is “merely a party of UT Delhi” and that only the Congress could compete with the BJP in the assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.
Mr. Azad claimed that he was not against the Congress party’s secularism stance but rather its weak party apparatus months after ending his decades-long affiliation with it.
While talking to ANI at Srinagar, he 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.”
He exuded trust in Congress and claimed that the party supports farmers of all faiths, including Muslims and Hindus. He claimed that the Aam Aadmi Party was powerless to affect change in these states since it had failed in Punjab and its residents would not support it again.
In a scathing attack on Aam Aadmi Party, Mr. 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.
