J&K Rallies By Congress's Ghulam Nabi Azad Fuels Buzz, Worries Party

Ghulam Nabi Azad has been tight-lipped about rumours of launching a new party but has been tangentially critical of the Congress lately.
A blitzkrieg of public meetings by senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad across Jammu and Kashmir has fuelled speculation that the former Rajya Sabha MP - part of the dissident 'G-23' group in the party - may launch his own outfit soon.
Mr Azad has been tight-lipped but has been tangentially critical of the Congress, more so than ever at a public meeting in Poonch, where he said that he can't see the Congress winning 300 seats in the 2024 elections.
Mr Azad was responding to criticism for his about-turn on Article 370.
After his strong opposition to the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status in parliament, Mr Azad said that his only demand is the restoration of statehood and holding assembly elections.
