By not forming the government in spite of getting a mandate, the BJP was "hijacking" the agenda of Kashmir-based separatists aimed at creating political instability in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress today alleged.

"The BJP is least interested in formation of government in the state, they just want to hijack the agenda of the Hurriyat Conference to create political uncertainties and instability in Jammu and Kashmir," senior Congress leader Sham Lal Sharma said.

He was addressing youth workers of the party in Jammu and Kashmir's Ankhoor. "People voted for a change, let them now judge how their mandate is being humiliated. Despite having the requisite numbers they failed to form a government which resulted in the imposition of the Governor rule in the state," Sharma said.

Sharma said that the BJP has compromised with the sentiments and aspirations of the people of the Jammu region.
