Jammu and Kashmir People's Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday announced to independently contest elections on the three Lok Sabha seats in Kashmir, thus putting an an end of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc on cards in the valley.While blaming the National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abduallh for non-cooperation over the seat division, Mufti said that the INDIA bloc partner left the PDP with no other option other than to contest election..

While addressing a press conference, Mufti said, "They (NC) have left no option for us other than to field candidates and contest the elections..

While reacting to PDP's decision, NC's vice president Omar Abduallh said that if Mufti is fielding her own candidates, then perhaps she does not want any kind of alliance. ..

"...If she (PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti) has announced to field candidates on all 5 seats, it is her choice..

We have fielded candidates on 3 seats in Kashmir based on her formula...If she is fielding her own candidates then perhaps she does not want any kind of alliance even for the assembly elections..
