Sources in Congress said the party had decided against joining the Omar government in view of Assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand to prevent BJP from targeting the grand old party for aligning with NC, which is demanding restoration of Article 370 and passed a resolution in J&K Assembly on the restoration of J&K’s special status and constitutional guarantees.Despite not being part of the NC-led government, the Congress faced attacks from the BJP in the poll campaign for both states over Article 370.“The party had initially decided to review the decision not to join the Omar government after the completion of Maharashtra and Jharkhand polls. Since Parliament session will begin on Monday and all top leaders will be busy, the call on joining the government will be taken after its conclusion,” a senior Congress leader said.
