National Conference chief and former J&K Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah on Monday said he does not have a magic lamp that can predict opposition unity ahead of the next year’s parliamentary elections but said non-BJP parties must realise the need to come together to safeguard democracy in the country.
On Karnataka elections , Farooq told ANI, Let us see the result of it. What the public’s attitude will be? What do they want? Who do they want to change or who they like to stay with? It is up to the people of Karnataka to decide: National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah on Karnataka Election
Abdullah added that his party will not beg for assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir but is ready to fight panchayat and local body polls that are likely to be held later this year.
“I do not have a magic lamp to predict the unity of opposition parties (ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections). Attempts are on (to forge a united front) and we hope that good sense will prevail and they will all come together,” Abdullah told reporters at the party headquarters .
