Jammu and Kashmir, which voted for the first time in a decade recently, will get a new government once the votes are counted on Tuesday. 

Ahead of the counting, National Conference President Farooq Abdullah said his party is open to taking support of rival Mehbooba Mufti's PDP if required. His statement came after the exit polls hinted at a hung assembly.

Mufti, on the other hand, said PDP leadership will take a call on supporting a secular front only after the results are declared.

This comes as the Lieutenant Governor nominated BJP members or associates to the five reserved seats in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. Abdullah said his party would approach the Supreme Court if the BJP-led Centre went ahead with the nominations.
