The Congress will not be part of the new Jammu and Kashmir government - despite having allied with Chief Minister-elect Omar Abdullah's National Conference to win last month's election - sources told NDTV Tuesday morning. The Congress will offer support from outside instead.
However, senior leaders from the party - Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha - will attend the swearing in ceremony.
