Omar Abdullah hints at possible BJP-PDP alliance in poll-bound J&K

National Conference vice president, Omar Abdullah hinted on September 2 that the Bharatiya Janata Party was perhaps again in touch with People's Democratic Party through RSS leader and former party general secretary, Ram Madhav. The Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP is the only party in the poll bound Jammu and Kashmir which has good connections with Madhav, said Abdullah, the former chief minister of erstwhile state. Madhav, who has been appointed as election in-charge for the upcoming Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir, is credited for the 2015 alliance between the BJP and PDP. When asked if there be a BJP-PDP alliance again, Omar said, “Let them get the seats first.” Voting is being held in three phases with first round on September 18.
