Omar Abdullah hints at staying away from grand alliance against BJP in 2024 LS polls
Rajouri/Jammu, Jun 10 (PTI) National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah on Saturday hinted at his party staying away from the grand alliance against the BJP in the next year’s general elections, saying most of such parties remained silent when the Article 370 was abrogated.
He also said the talk on a pre-poll alliance in Jammu and Kashmir would be premature before the sounding of bugle for the assembly elections in the Union Territory.
“What we have (to contribute) outside Jammu and Kashmir? We have a total of five (Lok Sabha) seats and what storm these seats can create? We have to fight against the BJP on these seats and what is going outside J&K is a secondary question,” Abdullah told reporters on reaching the border district of Rajouri.
