At the same time, he refused to comment on his party National Conference's stance on the alliance. "I am not going to express an opinion through the media. Obviously, I have one and it has been shared with the senior colleagues of the National Conference as also with the senior functionaries of the Congress party as well," said.
Abdullah said there was some disagreement between the NC and UPA on an administrative manner relating to Kashmir. "As far as we are concerned if we get a suitable resolution to this issue about the administrative units there should be no speculation about our future with the UPA," he said.
Below is the edited transcript of Abdullah's interview to CNBC-TV18.
Shereen: You are saying that a decision will be taken closer to the elections and it will be a decision that both you and the Congress will sit together and thrash out. Directionally, do you believe that it makes sense for you to continue your alliance with the Congress and the United Progressive Alliance (UPA)?
A: I think the comment that my father made has been taken out of context. He was asked specifically with regard to the current discussions that are going on between the National Conference and the Congress to do with the local administrative matter in Jammu & Kashmir. The answer I gave you was with regards to the wider alliance with the Congress party for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. I am not going to express an opinion through the media. Obviously, I have one and it has been shared with the senior colleagues of the National Conference as also with the senior functionaries of the Congress party as well. As and when we arrive at the decision, I am sure we will announce it.
Shereen: Do you believe that staying in the UPA alliance will actually hurt the National Conference's political fortunes? Do you believe the National Conference will perhaps be better off minus the UPA, minus the Congress?
A: We are not fair-weather friends. I know it has been sought to be projected in various sections of the media that we are looking for an easy exit because suddenly things do not look quite so good for the UPA as they did. I think what has happened is that a disagreement that has come about on this administrative matter in the state has been subsumed into this wider discussion about the UPA and where it will go forward. As far as we are concerned if we get a suitable resolution to this issue about the administrative units there should be no speculation about our future with the UPA.
