Lucknow, Aug 30 (UNI) Former MP Nirmal Khatri jumped into the controversy by attacking Ghulam Nabi Azad by accusing him of weakening the party during his inchargeship of the state.
In a post in the social media on Saturday night, Mr Khatri, who was the state president of the state before Raj Babbar, said that whenever Mr Azad became the in-charge of UP, the party was doomed in the elections.
" During Mr Azad's captaincy , in 1996, the Congress allied with BSP and again in 2017, due to his instance, the party went for alliance with Samajwadi Party and won just 7 seats, lowest ever," he alleged. Congress always goes on the back gear whenever Mr Azad is in-charge of the state, he further charged.
