Upset Over Rajya Sabha Seats, J&K Congress Wants To End Alliance | Read
The alliance between the Congress and the National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir is on the rocks following the rift between the two over Rajya Sabha seats. A break in alliance could put the Omar Abdullah government on sticky wicket, though there is no immediate threat to the government.
The Congress has six MLAs and the National Conference 41. Currently, the total strength of assembly is 88, making 45 the majority mark. Two seats are vacant. The National Conference has 41 members and enjoys the support of five Independents/associate members and one CPM MLA. So there is no threat to the government even if the Congress pulls out of the alliance.
