The National Conference suffered a major setback in Jammu as two prominent leaders Devender Rana and Surjit Singh Slathia resigned from the party on Sunday.
They are likely to join the BJP in Delhi on Monday.
"Dr Farooq Abdullah has received and accepted the resignations of Mr Slathia and Mr Rana. No further action or comment is deemed necessary," a National Conference spokesman tweeted.
Mr Rana, who was NC's provincial president of the Jammu region, announced the decision to quit the National Conference during a brief interaction with media persons outside his house in Jammu ending over week-long speculation about him leaving his party and joining the BJP.
