National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Thursday said that Congress has assured the party of unconditional support for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He added that both parties will strive to win all the five Lok Sabha seats in Jammu and Kashmir. Elaborating on the arrangement, Abdullah said that Congress has conveyed its full support to NC's three candidates in Kashmir valley and NC will strive for the victory of Congress candidates on two seats of Jammu division.

"Congress has clearly told us that they will support NC's three candidates in Kashmir. In a day or two, it will be clear that NC and Congress will jointly strive to ensure the success of all five candidates in J&K - three NC candidates in Kashmir and two Congress candidates in Jammu," Abdullah said here. The NC leader's statement has come as a snub to PDP, an INDIA bloc partner that has also decided to field candidates on all the three LS seats of Kashmir.
