As per the terms of the alliance, each party will field three candidates each in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

NC Vice President Omar Abdullah said that Congress will contest from Udhampur Jammu and Ladakh Lok Sabha seats while NC will field its candidates from Anantnag-Rajouri, Srinagar and Baramulla.

"I would like to formally announce that National Conference and Congress will jointly contest the elections in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh with three candidates each from both the parties. National Conference will support Congress candidates on Udhampur, Jammu and Ladakh seats. India Bloc will contest the elections and represent them in Parliament to help fulfill the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh."

The seat-sharing agreement was finalized after discussions between Congress and NC leaders.

Congress seat-sharing committee member Salman Khurshid was also present during the joint press conference held in Delhi.

Asked if PDP is still part of the India block, Khurshid said, "PDP is in our alliance. Adjustment of seats is a part of the alliance and the overall alliance is a separate issue. Since Jammu and Kashmir is small in area , so there is not much scope for seat adjustment despite our best efforts."

PDP has fielded its chief Mehbooba Mufti against NC's Mian Altaf Ahma on Anantnag-Rajouri seat.

"The National Conference already has three Lok Sabha MPs and we have decided to give them a chance," Khurshid said.
