Srinagar, Oct 9: NC will hold a meeting of the legislative party on Thursday to start the process of government formation.
“I have spoken to NC president Farooq Abdullah and the party will call a legislative party meeting tomorrow. After that, there will be a meeting of the alliance partners where the alliance leader will be elected and then we will go to the Raj Bhavan to stake the claim for government formation,” NC vice-president Omar Abdullah said, adding, “I hope the new government is in place in the next few days”.
To a question about whether the PDP would be a part of the coalition government, the NC leader said there were no discussions over that as of now.
“There has been no approach made to us by the PDP. We have made no approach to them. Given the results of this election, which I think is quite a setback to them, I think at the moment I can understand that there must be some internal discussion going on.
