"Not Taken A Final Call": Ghulam Nabi Azad Says Might Not Contest J&K Polls

"I'm yet to decide if I will contest or not. My party has announced it but I have not taken a final call," Ghulam Nabi Azad said

Ghulam Nabi Azad, who formed his own party after quitting the Congress, may not contest the coming general election, even though his name has been announced by the party he has founded.  Mr Azad's party, the Democratic Progressive Azad Party or DPAP, has announced his candidature from Anantnag- Rajouri constituency.

"I'm yet to decide if I will contest or not.  My party has announced it but I have not taken a final call,' Mr Azad told NDTV.

The contest in Anantnag is expected to be his first test of popularity in Jammu and Kashmir since he quit the Congress in 2022.
