'Will take PDP's support even if we don't need it'

Ahead of counting of votes for Jammu and Kashmir elections, National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah has made a big conciliatry gesture saying even if the NC-Congress alliance did not need the support from Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) then also they would take it.

Farooq Abdullah said, "Even if we don't need it, we will take the support (from PDP) because if we have to go ahead, we have to do it together. We all have to make an effort to save this state. This state is in a lot of difficulties. Educated youth have no jobs, inflation is skyrocketing, there is drug menace." He thanked PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti for reportedly extending her party's support to the NC.

He said, "I extend her my heartfelt gratitude we will try to build this state together. I have not spoken with her, I have only read it in newspapers."
