Soon after Mr Abdullah made the statement, however, his father and National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah said those who think the alliance was just for parliamentary polls should come out of this misconception.

Omar and Farooq Abdullah were speaking to reporters on the sidelines of different functions in the Jammu region.

Mr Abdullah, whose National Conference is part of the INDIA bloc, said in response to questions from mediapersons that both AAP and Congress are part of the bloc but they are contesting the elections in Delhi and also resorting to acrimonious poll campaigns against each other.
