Will not join BJP, says former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad

New Delhi: Veteran leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who resigned from the grand old party recently said on Monday that he will not join BJP as it will not help my politics in Jammu & Kashmir. He was speaking to media persons in the national capital. 

Azad added that this is the Congress propaganda against me. 

Earlier, he said, "I have been forced to leave my home."

Taking a dig at the Congress over his resignation, he said, "Modi 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."

Azad on Friday resigned from all posts of the party and blamed Rahul Gandhi for "demolishing the consultative mechanism" 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 "Shri Rahul Gandhi or rather worse his security guards and PAs".

The development comes days after Azad resigned from the organisational post of Jammu and Kashmir.
