SRINAGAR, Sept 22: Omar Abdullah said that the National Conference’s pre-poll alliance with the Congress for the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections was formed to give people an option to avoid a hung House.
National Conference is contesting 51 seats, the Congress 32 and the CPI(M) one. The remaining six seats will witness a “friendly contest” between the Congress and the National Conference.
Omar said that what we have heard from the people, there is no room for hung elections & added that the BJP would want a hung assembly as it would give it an excuse to extend the Lieutenant Governor’s rule but people won’t allow it to happen.
