Jammu and Omar Abdullah speaking to NDTV on the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections says, "I am really not aspiring for the office of Chief Minister and I really don't want it now. It's a mess."

Omar on backing BJP: "99 per cent no, but there is a crack. If Mufti Mohd Saeed calls me to form government, I will consider it. But as of now there has been no communication from the PDP. With 17 MLAs the NC remains a key player.

We are not calling Amit Shah either, but if the phone rings it rings."
