Azad’s party name finalized, veteran leader holds his cards back | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 5: Although it was finalized that name of the new party would be Indian National Democratic Congress but at the eleventh hour, Ghulam Nabi Azad decided not to disclose the name. Many eyebrows are raised about the decision of Azad not to disclose the name of the new party during Sunday’s rally. As a mature and experienced politician, Ghulam Nabi Azad has not disclosed his cards because he is waiting for some developments at the national level. Highly placed sources said Azad is waiting for the outcome of the election of Congress president slated to be held in October. Meanwhile, a day after addressing his first public meeting former Congress leader and ex-chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Ghulam Nabi Azad has decided to start a mass contact programme before announcing the name of his new political party. On Sunday Azad addressed his public gathering after snapping over 50 years-long relations with the Congress Party. He selected Jammu as the venue to address his first public meeting as a huge number of Congress leaders from Jammu have resigned from the post in support of Ghulam Nabi Azad. Sources said that Azad has decided to start a mass contact programme to reach out to the people to get a response from the grassroots level. “The mass-contact programme will start from Doda district of J&K, which is the home district of the veteran politician”, sources said, adding, “first of all Azad will strengthen his base in Chenab region, comprising Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban districts”. “We are on the job to prepare the two weeks itinerary of Azad’s mass contact programme in different parts of Jammu and Kashmir”, a loyalist of Azad said and added that next week, Azad is likely to visit Kashmir Valley to mobilize his supporters. Much before resigning from the primary membership of the party, Ghulam Nabi Azad has completed the first phase of his mass contact programme. From November to December 2021, Azad had covered all regions and sub-regions of Jammu and Kashmir. During the first phase of his mass-contact programme, Azad had successfully mobilized his supporters and loyalists in Congress. His mass-contact programme was started with a Diwali Milan function at Jammu in the first week of November, 2021. In this non-political function, Azad had invited leaders of all political parties and social organizations to start interacting with people of all shades of society. |
