Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said he does not see his party winning 300 seats in the next general elections.
At a time the Congress is fighting questions around its leadership, its senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad has all but declared his own party a write-off in the 2024 national election.
Addressing a rally in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, Ghulam Nabi Azad said he does not see the Congress winning 300 seats in the next general elections.
He was talking about restoring Article 370, scrapped in 2019, and was explaining to the crowd that he was in no position to make promises that he couldn't possibly deliver on.
"(Article 370) is in court. I will not talk about what is not in our hands just to please people. I can't promise you the stars and the moon. If anyone can do anything, apart from the court, it is the current government, which itself was responsible for the move. We are 300 MPs short. I can't even say that in 2024 of Congress wins 300 MPs, we can do something. God willing we will win but right now I don't see that happening. So I will not make any false promises," said Mr Azad.
