"We have had exhaustive deliberations within the NC and so has the Congress to work out a joint strategy to give a fight to the ruling PDP in Srinagar and Anantnag," the National Conference leader said here.

"After exhaustive exercise, it has been decided the National Conference and the Congress would fight the by-elections jointly.
