The Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) on Sunday clarified that party chairman and senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad is not rejoining the Congress Party.

Speaking on the occasion, Khera said, “Ajay Nishad is an important figure in the politics of Bihar. I welcome him to the party.”

The Congress state unit president said with his joining, the party would further strengthen in Bihar.
“I express my gratitude to the top leadership of Congress for giving me the opportunity to join the party,” Nishad said.
Earlier in the day, in a post on X, he announced his resignation from the BJP accusing it of betrayal.
“Respected J P Nadda, shocked by the betrayal of BJP, I resign from all posts and primary membership of the party,” Nishad said.
The latest addition to the Congress came a day after former MP from Punjab’s Patiala Dharamvir Gandhi joined the party.
