SRINAGAR, Sept 28: Former chief minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday claimed that the National Conference-Congress alliance has been able to keep BJP at bay in the first two phases of polling in Jammu and Kashmir.
“We (alliance) have foiled the efforts of the BJP at government formation in the first two phases of polling. We now hope that this will continue in the third phase,” Abdullah told reporters during an election campaign in the Tangmarg area of Baramulla district.
“A large number of people voted in favour of alliance candidates in south and central Kashmir,” he said.
