National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah Thursday said contesting from two assembly seats is not a sign of weakness, but proves the strength of his party.
Abdullah has filed nomination for the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly polls from two seats — Ganderbal and Budgam.
“My colleagues wanted to show that the NC is not fighting this election from a weak position, but a strong one. My contesting from two seats is not a sign of weakness, but strength, it is the proof of the NC’s strength,” Abdullah told reporters here after filing nomination papers.
The former chief minister said if there was any danger of his losing from Budgam, then his party colleagues would not have allowed him to contest from here.
“Whether it is Baramulla, Srinagar or Anantnag, there is a wave in favour of the NC and we hope that the party will be successful and the alliance candidates will also win,” he added.
