Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 30: Amid speculations that National Conference vice-president would contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls from North Kashmir’s Baramulla constituency, Omar Abdullah, on Saturday left everyone guessing saying that the party high command would decide on his mandate.
“The party will decide on my Lok Sabha mandate. Rumors are common during election time. It is the party that will make the decision on whether I will contest polls and from which parliamentary constituency,” Omar told reporters.
“It is not up to me personally. The party has to decide on my mandate. I will leave it to the party.”
Omar said that the party would announce the list of other candidates at an appropriate time and that it was premature to disclose names at this stage. “The timing of announcing the list of candidates depends on our discretion. Hopefully, the list will be announced after notification, or perhaps it will be made public closer to the last date for filing nominations. So, let’s not rush,” added Omar Abdullah.
He also mentioned that the INDI Alliance is scheduled to hold a convention at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi on Sunday, in which NC President Dr. Farooq Abdullah would participate. |
