In another blow to the INDIA bloc, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Thursday announced that his party will go solo in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
In a snub to Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party has already announced to fight solo in Punjab.
The INDIA bloc is already in a shamble with the Janata Dal (United), Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) walking out of the alliance. However, Congress asserted that the NC is part of I.N.D.I.A bloc. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh says, "Talks are going on. Every party has their own limitations. National Conference and PDP have been a part of the I.N.D.I.A bloc, and will continue to remain so."
Abdullah said, "I think that elections in both states will be held with the Parliamentary elections. As far as seat sharing is concerned, the NC will contest alone and there's no doubt about it.
