December 26, 2014 08:27

National Conference's Omar Abdullah has denied that his party is in talks with the BJP on government formation in Jammu and Kashmir. The BJP began talks with his arch rival the People's Democratic Party on Thursday night.

"So many stories doing the rounds about a BJP NC deal. Let me say this as strongly as possible -- THERE IS NO DEAL NOR ANY DISCUSSION going on (sic)," Abdullah tweeted late on Thursday.

The BJP delivered its strongest performance in the state to win 25 seats, but was way short of the majority mark at 44.
