Doda, Oct 30: Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday said that his idea to return to regional politics and form his own political party in Jammu and Kashmir is aimed at full filling the unfinished agenda of development and those projects which were left midway after he left the office of chief minister.
Azad said had he been power hungry, he would have never quit the national politics where he could have enjoyed more power. “In national politics, you have the opportunity to enjoy power and have less stress of work. But in regional politics issues are more and less chances to enjoy the power due to direct dealings on the ground,” he said while addressing party workers at Bhaderwah town and Sindhra Bhalla block.
The DPAP chairman said that despite knowing it, he chose to return the regional politics. “I came back to my people because I want to serve them and do whatever is required for the peace and progress of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
The former chief minister said that during his tenure he sanctioned and executed lots of projects but a lot more is required to be done. “I want to convey to you that I have a lot more to do for my people and I am asking you all to give me and my party a chance,” he said.
He said the DPAP is meant for the welfare of people and asked his workers to focus on public meetings in their respective areas.
Among others who attended the public meeting were G.M.Saroori Vice Chairman, Ab Majeed Wani Gen Secretary, Anita Thakur Gen Secretary, P.R.Manhas Zonal President, Asif Gattu Distt President, Prabha Salathia Mahila President, Sunita Arora Spokesperson, Javid Azad VP Zone, Arif Najar Block President, Pritam Kotwal Provincial Secretary, Sheikh Zaffarullah Gen Secretary Zone Chenab, Krishan Singh Manhas, Mohd Ashraf Goni and others.
