Being a part of the country, we must make this alliance powerful.” When asked about some of the prominent NC activists having joined the BJP in the past couple of weeks, the SeniorAbdullah said, “People will come and go. Such movements will not significantly impact the NC.” Omar Abdullah who is the vice president of the NC had earlier said that he will hold a second round of discussions on the seat-sharing issue with the Congress next week as the two parties could not reach an understanding in the earlier round of talks held a week ago. The three remaining seats of erstwhile state of J&K viz Srinagar, Anantnag and Baramulla were bagged by the NC in the 2019 elections and Mr. Omar Abdullah has been insisting that these seats should be left for the NC to recontest on and that the fight should be to take those seats back which are with the BJP.
