Jammu-Kashmir Assembly Elections 2024: National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah said on Saturday (September 7) said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is keeping the door open for post-poll alliance with parties such as People's Conference and Apni Party.
Addressing the party workers at Shalbugh area of Ganderbal, Omar said, "During a press conference in Jammu, Home Minister Amit Shah was saying the name of parties with which they will not be forming a government. He didn't mention several parties, including Engineer Rashid's party, Apni Party, Peoples Conference. This means that tomorrow if the BJP wants, it can form the government with them."
Omar Abdullah is contesting on two seats and independent candidates have also filed nominations against him.
