DPAP candidate, G.M. Saroori fought the Lok Sabha election unsuccessfully from Kathua-Udhampur constituency which was won for the third consecutive term by Dr Jitendra Singh of the BJP. In another jolt to the DPAP, senior leader, Taj Mohiuddin recently resigned from the party to rejoin the Congress. Taj had left the Congress in support of Ghulam Nabi Azad who later formed his own party, the DPAP.
DPAP Fields Candidates for Phase 1 of Polls
In the Lok Sabha elections, DPAP supported Mohammad Ashraf Mir of J&K Apni Party for the Srinagar seat and Sajad Gani Lone of the People’s Conference (PC) for the Baramulla seat. Both Mir and Sajad lost the Lok Sabha elections in the Valley. Despite his popularity in the Chenab Valley region, Azad has so far failed to catch the imagination of the voters in the Valley.
