IN a key political move, three-time former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah will stay rooted in Jammu and Kashmir politics and not move to the national stage.
The ruling NC on Friday announced its candidates for three of the four Rajya Sabha seats from the Union Territory, leaving one seat for ally Congress. The opposition BJP is expected to announce its nominees on Saturday.
NC General Secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar said that the party has decided to field Chaudhary Mohammad Ramzan, Sajjad Ahmad Kitchloo, and Shammi Oberoi for three RS seats.
