Srinagar: In a potential game-changer for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir elections, sources within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have indicated that the party is open to backing a coalition government involving the National Conference (NC) and Congress. The move is reportedly aimed at forming a secular administration in the region, a step seen as crucial by various political groups to counter the rise of communal politics.

According to sources close to PDP leadership, “There is a growing consensus within the party that a secular front, supported by the NC and Congress, would be the best way forward for the stability and unity of Jammu and Kashmir.” This stat underscores PDP’s readiness to collaborate with its former political rivals to create a strong, unified front.

The leadership of NC and Congress is reportedly considering this option, as the alliance could provide a significant boost in terms of votes across different regions, particularly those that have traditionally supported secular values. While no formal talks have yet been confirmed, insiders suggest that discussions could soon be underway as political leaders weigh their options ahead of the elections.

If this coalition materializes, it could reshape the political landscape of Jammu and Kashmir, presenting a formidable challenge to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the region.

The development marks a significant shift in the state’s political dynamics and reflects the evolving strategies of key parties ahead of what is expected to be a highly competitive election.
