BJP-NC Alliance On Cards In Jammu-Kashmir? Ex-Mayor Makes Big Claim

BJP -NC Alliance In Jammu-Kashmir: Former mayor of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Junaid Azim Mattu has made a big claim saying that a possible alliance between Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) and National Conference (NC) may be on the cards. Mattu has claimed that two meetings have already taken place between the two parties.

However, there are no comments by the leaders of both the parties over possibilities of an alliance in Jammu and Kashmir. It is to be noted that NC is already in pre-poll alliance with Congress . However, their alliance faced a massive setback after the former party promised restoration of Article 370. The Grand Old Party also faced criticism for supporting their alliance partner promises.

Elections in Jammu-Kashmir, first since abrogation of Article 370, took place in three phases on September 18, 25 and October 1. Results will be declared on October 8 along with Haryana results.

The BJP previously aligned with Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party but the alliance didn't survive for long.
