Jammu, Apr 8: The National Conference and Congress on Monday formally announced seat adjustment on all the six seats of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh by rejecting claims of the coalition partner Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Former Chief Minister and Vice President of NC Omar Abdullah along with Congress leaders Salman Khurshid and Pawan Khera in a joint press conference announced that both the parties would contest elections on six seats of J&K and Ladakh.
While Congress will contest on Jammu-Reasi, Udhampur-Doda, and Ladakh seats, the National Conference will field its candidates on Anantnag-Rajouri, Srinagar, and Baramulla seats.
When asked about sidelining PDP, which is one of the constituents of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), Congress leader Pawan Khera said that seat adjustment and alliance are two different things.
“J&K is a very small state having five seats so accommodating all coalition partners was a difficult task”, he said, adding, “We tried our best to accommodate PDP but the NC has genuine claims of three seats which the party had won in 2019 Lok Sabha elections”.
While replying to a question regarding the decision of the PDP to field its candidates on three seats in Kashmir Valley, Omar Abdullah revealed that during discussions PDP was assured to properly accommodate in the next Assembly elections but the party
