Ghulam Nabi Azad May Return To Congress!

New Delhi: Former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad is likely to return to the party as talks have been initiated between the former and the latter.

According to reports, veteran Congress leaders are working behind the scenes for an amicable formula for Azad’s return to the party.

However, neither sources within the Azad camp nor in Congress have confirmed the development.

But sources claim that the change of guard in the party and recent win in Himachal Pradesh have made both factions to rethink their stance.

Azad has formed his own party and is on tour in his home state. As the Bharat Jodo Yatra is about to enter his state Kashmir, if things were favourable, he may join the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Except Azad, G-23 leaders Anand Sharma, Akhilesh Prasad Singh, Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Manish Tewari are still in the party and have been given prominence in the party. Sharma, Hooda and Tewari had proposed Mallikarjun Kharge and had even voted in his favour when he fought party’s Presidential polls.

Azad had resigned in August following his differences with the party high command and had targeted Rahul Gandhi and his coterie.

He joined the Congress in the mid 1970s and has held many important positions both in the party and the government.
