Jammu: Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad's nephew Mubashir Azad joined the BJP on Sunday (February 27) and said he was "influenced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's developmental works at the ground level".
Mubashir Azad, the son of Ghulam Nabi Azad's youngest brother Liaqat Ali, also said his uncle was "disrespected" by the Congress leadership which hurt him and led to him parting ways with the grand old party. He, however, claimed that he did not discuss the plan to join the BJP with his uncle.
Mubashir Azad and his supporters were welcomed into the party fold by Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravinder Raina and other senior leaders, including ex-MLA Daleep Singh Parihar.
