Rajya Sabha elections were held on Friday in which the NC won three out of four seats, while one seat went to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Para said that all three PDP MLAs voted in favour of the NC candidates.

“We have differences with NC. It was a difficult decision, but still our President Mehbooba Mufti took this call in the larger interest of JK. We have already submitted a few bills on land rights and daily wagers, and we expect the NC to support them,” he said.
