National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah announced that the INDIA alliance plans to form a government in Jammu and Kashmir, contingent on the collective election of a coalition leader in the assembly.
Clarifying his stance, Abdullah denied any personal claim to the chief ministership, deferring instead to the alliance's decision-making process. His father's earlier proclamation about his candidacy prompted the statement.
The election results have been interpreted as a disapproval of BJP's political strategy, with Abdullah crediting voters for making a thoughtful choice and pledging a government that meets public expectations.
