New Delhi, Sept 2: Taking a jibe at Ghulam Nabi Azad, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Friday claimed that the \u201cground reality\u201d of the Congress in Jammu and Kashmir is different from the ones \u201cmanufactured by people sitting in New Delhi in Modi Sarkar-sanctioned bungalows.\u201d
Tagging a video of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress on Twitter, Jairam Ramesh wrote, \u201cThis is ground reality, not reality manufactured by people sitting in New Delhi in Modi Sarkar sanctioned bungalows with huge lawns and planting fake news.\u201d
The Jammu and Kashmir Congress tweet stated the Congress workers of all blocks of Bhallessa Sub Division held a monthly meeting on September 1 in Gandoh\u2019s party office. The meeting is being held for more than 50 years, it further stated.
Notably, Bhalessa is the home town of former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad.
\u201cCongress workers of all blocks of Sub Division Bhallessa assembled at Congress office Gandoh to hold monthly meeting which is being conducted 1st day of every month for last more than 50 years. Bhalessa is the home village of Ghulam Nabi Azad,\u201d tweeted Jammu and Kashmir Congress.
Azad, on August 26, resigned from all posts of the party citing the \u201cimmaturity\u201d of Rahul Gandhi whom he blamed for \u201cdemolishing the consultative mechanism\u201d in the party.
In a hard-hitting 5 page note to party interim president Sonia Gandhi, Azad claimed that a coterie runs the party while she was just a nominal head and all the major decisions were taken by \u201cShri Rahul Gandhi or rather worse his security guards and PAs\u201d.
Earlier speaking to media persons in the national capital, Azad said, \u201cI have been forced to leave my home on my own.\u201d
Taking a dig at the Congress over his resignation, he said, \u201cModi is an excuse, they have had an issue with me since the G23 letter was written. They never wanted anyone to write to them, question them.\u201d
\u201cSeveral (Congress) meetings happened, but not even a single suggestion was taken,\u201d added Azad.
When asked if he\u2019ll go with BJP if needed after forming a new party, Azad said, \u201cCongress mein anpadhon (illiterate) ki jamaat hai, especially those sitting for clerical work\u2026Those who know Jammu and Kashmir, I can\u2019t increase even one vote in BJP\u2019s constituencies, they can\u2019t do it in mine.\u201d
Several political leaders from Jammu and Kashmir last Saturday met veteran leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who is planning to launch a new national party.
\u201cMLAs from Jammu and Kashmir are here. A few more-some senior leaders and ex-ministers-will come in the evening. Azad Sa\u2019ab said a national party will be formed, we\u2019ll begin from J&K and the upcoming poll will be fought strongly. Don\u2019t want to reply to comments, we\u2019ll reply with a victory,\u201d said ex-Congress leader Salman Nizami.
The meeting came within 24 hours of Azad\u2019s resignation from all posts in Congress and it holds importance as the polls in the valley are likely to be held later this year.
\u201cUnder the leadership of Azad ji we will launch a national party and the work will begin from Jammu and Kashmir. Azad ji will go to J-K and will form an alliance with like-minded parties and leaders. All the criticism coming Azad Ji\u2019s way will be answered by winning elections,\u201d ex- Congress leader Salman Nizami had earlier announced.
The decision to launch a new national party came just hours after the veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, in a letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi resigned from all positions of the Congress party including the primary membership.
