With former J&K Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand, former JK PCC president Minister Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed, Balwan Singh returned to the Congress바카라s fold along with 17 members, it will give a boost to Congress in J&K.
As 17 political leaders from J&K including some senior leaders from Azad Democratic Party Friday joined Congress in New Delhi, the Congress party on Friday said they had not left the party but they were on leave. 바카라They have joined back today after two months leave from the party,바카라 Congress general secretary in-charge of communication Jairam Ramesh said, thus keeping open doors for others who joined Azad's party in September last year.
While naming the 17 leaders, Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal, who is also in charge of J&K, said, 바카라It is a big day for us. Just before Bharat Jodo Yatra our stalwarts of J&K are back our home. It is a big thing and we are really happy. January 30 is the most important day for the country as Bharat Jodo Yatra will culminate in Jammu and Kashmir. Farooq Abdullah ji and Mehbooba Mufti ji are joining us. This yatra is a big movement for the country. That is why all those leaders who have left us are joining us back. It is a great moment,바카라 Venugopal said.
With former J&K Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand, former JK PCC president Minister Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed, Balwan Singh returned to the Congress바카라s fold along with 17 members, it will give a boost to Congress in J&K. 바카라We have spent our whole life with Congress. But in between, we made some mistakes and went haywire. I have been given everything by Congress. We made a wrong decision a few months ago under the constraints of friendship (with Azad). It was a blunder,바카라 Tara Chand said and thanked Congress for accommodating him and others.
Considered loyalists to Ghulam Nabi Azad, all these leaders left Congress to join the Democratic Azad Party (DAP) in September last year.
The crisis started hitting Azad바카라s party last month when the party expelled leaders Tara Chand, Balwan Singh and former minister of erstwhile J&K State Dr Monohar Lal from the party after accusing them of being in touch with Congress.
Formed in September last year with an aim to create an impact all across Jammu and Kashmir, the Democratic Azad Party after its formation failed to attract other parties into its fold. 바카라I have been with Congress for 50 years. I made a mistake and left the party two months ago. I apologize to all for the wrong decision,바카라 he added.
Salam Nizami, the Azad Democratic Party바카라s spokesman, calls these leaders "dead wood." 바카라They were deadwood and without a constituency,바카라 Nizami told Outlook. 바카라We had expelled them already as they were not allowing young people to join our party,바카라 Nizami said.
Former legislator and Congress leader G N Monga told Outlook that they were all senior leaders and were holding positions in the Azad Democratic Party. 바카라How come they became deadwood after joining back Congress,바카라 he added. Monga said the Congress party is open to all and has a long history in Jammu and Kashmir with grassroots cadre and during Bharat Jodo Yatra in J&K, people will see the support and strength of Congress.
