National conference leader and Union minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday ruled out holding of ensuing assembly polls in J&K under President`s rule, saying there is no precedence of elected governments stepping down to facilitate such a dispensation.

Omar Abdullah said, “National conference has been voted to power with two-thirds of majority in the previous elections under the President`s rule.” He allayed apprehensions of so called rigging of elections and said the national conference government has assured free and fair polls.

The National conference manifesto for the coming polls would be made public soon, said Abdullah.
