Congress, NC To Join Hands For Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Polls

In a notable political shift, the National Conference (NC) and Congress are reportedly moving towards forming a pre-poll alliance in Jammu and Kashmir in anticipation of the upcoming Assembly elections. Sources indicate that both parties have tentatively agreed to collaborate, with ongoing discussions focused on seat-sharing arrangements.

Recent meetings between leaders from the NC and Congress in Srinagar have highlighted their commitment to this alliance, particularly concerning the distribution of electoral seats. Congress has expressed interest in contesting 12 seats in the Kashmir Valley, while proposing to allocate 12 seats to the NC in the Jammu division. However, a final agreement on the seat-sharing has yet to be established, with another round of negotiations expected to finalize the details in the coming days. If this alliance is formalized, it could significantly reshape the political dynamics in Jammu and Kashmir for the forthcoming elections.
