INDIA bloc will win all 6 Lok Sabha seats in J&K, Ladakh: Congress leader

The INDIA bloc will win all six Lok Sabha seats in the Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh, senior Congress leader Bharatsinh Solanki said here on Friday.

Solanki, who was recently appointed the party's in-charge for Jammu and Kashmir, said the Congress high command would decide the number of seats the party would contest as part of the INDIA bloc.

"A committee has been formed and has held meetings with leaders from here. Now the high command will decide," he said.

He expressed confidence that the alliance will win all the six seats -- two seats of Jammu region, three of Kashmir valley and one of Ladakh.

Highlighting the significance of Jammu and Kashmir, Solanki said, "Although J-K has six seats in Parliament and 90 in assembly, it is the most important state for its strategic and secular characters."

He exhorted the party cadre to prepare for the upcoming elections.
