Srinagar, Oct 09: National Conference (NC) provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani on Wednesday said discussions regarding the formation of the new Jammu & Kashmir government will conclude within the next few days, following meetings with both the legislature party and alliance partners.
“We have a meeting of our legislature party tomorrow, and after that, we will sit with our alliance partners. All these formalities will be completed in the next few days,” Wani said while speaking to the media persons at the party chief Farooq Abdullah’s residence.
When asked about the power-sharing formula, he said, “These things take time, not everything happens in a hurry. It will be finalised in the next few days.”
Replying to a query that the people of Jammu gave a one-sided mandate, Nasir said that NC also has secured several seats and will ensure that Jammu gets adequate representation in the new government. “We will try to give a good representation of Jammu in the government,” he said.
When asked if independent candidates are joining the government, the NC leader said that some independent candidates have approached the party, signalling a wider coalition in the making. (KNS)
