Sarjan Ahmad Wagay is set to take on former chief minister Omar Abdullah from the Ganderbal constituency in the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections.
Jailed separatist leader Sarjan Ahmad Wagay is set to take on former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference's Omar Abdullah from the Ganderbal constituency in the upcoming Assembly elections. His nomination papers have been accepted from two assembly constituencies - Ganderbal and Beerwah.
Omar Abdullah, however, on Friday alleged that the BJP and central government were putting up the jailed separatist against him so that he would be defeated in assembly elections.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the NC's vice president was defeated by Engineer Rashid, who is lodged in Delhi's Tihar jail on terror funding charges.
