"They will win in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan because there are no regional parties. However, I helped Congress win in the places where there were regional parties in power," he said.
Accusing the People's Democratic Party (PDP) of allying with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state, Azad said," Mufti and PDP let BJP come into Jammu and Kashmir.
