NC wants mid-term polls in J-K, says Omar after meeting governor
March 21, 2016
Just in: National Conference in favour of mid-term polls in view of J-K stalemate, says NC chief and former J-K CM Omar Abdullah after meeting Governor N N Vohra.
This comes even as Peoples Democratic Party president, Mehbooba Mufti, today visited Delhi fuelling fresh speculation of a possible patch-up between her
party and the BJP for government formation in Jammu and Kashmir.
The
Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday said it was fully committed to the
agenda of governance in the state. Mehbooba has had several meetings
with top BJP leaders like party president Amit Shah and general
secretary and party in-charge of Jammu and Kashmir, Ram Madhav, but the
meetings ended with a stalemate with the BJP saying government cannot be
formed with pre-conditions.
A senior leader of the PDP had said
that they had not put any preconditions but wanted the centre to come
up with some confidence building measures for government formation in
the state which has been under governor's rule since the demise of
former chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on January 9.
Union
finance minister Arun Jaitley yesterday said that the BJP was 'fully
committed to the agenda of governance that was formed in Jammu and
Kashmir'.
There have been reports that Mehbooba has called a
meeting of PDP legislators and leaders to inform of her confabulation
with the top BJP leadership in New Delhi for formation of government in
the state.
