Congress, NC end alliance in Kashmir

The Congress has decided to go alone in the upcoming assembly elections in Jammu & Kashmir by putting up candidates on all 87 seats.
Senior Congress leader Ambika Soni said that the party will contest all 87 assembly seats in the state alone.
Congress-National Conference coalition government came to power under chief minister Omar Abdullah in January 2009. According to sources, workers of both parties are against going together in the polls.
However, Omar Abdullah pointed out that it was his party's decision to end the alliance with Congress.
