Cong says it is ready to align with PDP

December 23, 2014 13:13

With assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir throwing up a hung verdict, Congress today said it was "open" to aligning with PDP in the state to provide a government.

"We are always open. We have allied with PDP as well as with National Conference in past. One thing is clear that we will not go with BJP. As far as they (PDP and NC) are concerned, we have had alliances with them," Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said.

Azad, who campaigned extensively for the party in the elections, had earlier led a coalition government with PDP which had fallen apart on the Amarnath issue.
