An upbeat Farooq Abdullah, former chief minister and National Conference patron, said his party would work out an alliance with the Congress. His son and NC president Omar Abdullah, talking to reporters, flatly ruled out any alliance with the BJP.
“Once we work out an alliance with the Congress, the choice of the chief minister would have to be discussed by the two parties,` Farooq Abdullah told reporters in Srinagar.
Asked if Omar Abdullah would be the chief minister, he said: “Why not? Omar is a young man ready to serve the people.”
