Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday made it clear that there would be no alliance between his National Conference and the BJP in the upcoming days.
He stated that there was neither any scope nor any need for such an alliance with the saffron party, emphasizing that they have vastly different thoughts.
Replying to questions of media persons before commencement of the budget session of the J&K Assembly, Omar Abdullah said "We are not talking about any alliance with the BJP, neither is there any scope, nor the need. Our thoughts also do not align."
If we talk about J&K, our thoughts are vastly different. We will hold discussions on everything during the session."
