Ghulam Nabi Azad dissolves all DPAP committees months after poll debacle in J-K
This comes after his party's poor performance in the recent J-K assembly elections. The party fielded 23 candidates in the 90-member assembly but performed poorly, with candidates in at least six seats securing fewer votes than NOTA. One such seat was Doda West in Doda, which is the home district of DPAP leader Azad.
