The Indian National Congress, which partnered with the National Conference (NC) in the 2024 Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, is advocating for improved coordination on significant public issues. Senior Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir stressed that mutual understanding among coalition partners is essential for effective governance and public welfare. His comments follow NC president Dr. Farooq Abdullah's criticism of Congress for not adequately pushing for the restoration of Statehood. The Congress party has previously opted not to participate in the Cabinet of the Omar Abdullah government until Statehood is reinstated. Mir emphasized that the concerns of Congress must be respected for the coalition to remain functional. The NC secured 42 seats in the Assembly, while Congress won 6 in the recent elections. Tensions between the allies have previously surfaced, particularly regarding the Rajya Sabha elections, with Congress leaders acknowledging growing dissatisfaction over governance and administrative matters.
