Azad told reporters here, “This (India alliance) was the only option left for the Congress party to form an alliance with various political parties, but it could not move forward due to its wrong policies.” Defaulting to a broader alliance. Highlighting the missed opportunity, Azad said, “Other political parties should have been taken along to travel together across the country and this would have sent a message.”
Azad advised Congress to include other political parties also in its yatra. “If they (Congress) travel alone, it will lead nowhere,” he said. The present leaders failed to build unity before the alliance. Azad said, “Talking about unity and having unity on the ground are two different things.” He also said that unity broke the day when. Congress started the journey alone. This should have been a journey of 26 parties.
Azad ended his five-decade long association with the Congress on August 26, 2022 and announced his new party in Jammu a month later. Azad said, “Congress has nothing to offer, except perhaps Bihar. They have nothing in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, North-East and Odisha.
Azad also took a dig at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. In response to a question, he said that the Chief Minister of Bihar “behaves like an unrecognized party.”
