The stalemate over post-poll alliance between political parties in Jammu and Kashmir State is continuing even one month after the verdict was declared. However, Union Minister for Home Rajnath Singh said that BJP and People’s Democratic Party may form government very soon as negotiations between the two parties are nearly completed and fruitful. He said that except three or four issues, both parties have come to consensus.
It is learnt that PDP has agreed to offer Deputy Chief Minister, Home Minister and some important portfolios to the BJP for having its support to form the government. In return, BJP may not rake the issues related to Article 370 etc.
However, both parties are differing on withdrawing special powers to army in Kashmir Valley, reviving talks with J&K separatists and Pakistan government over Kashmir issue. But, PDP may ignore those issues as it is desperate to grab the power in the state without any further delay.
PDP’s MLA Haseeb Drabhu and a team of BJP leaders headed by its general secretary Ram Madhav have met J&K Governor NN Vohra separately to brief him about their negotiations.
Jammu and Kashmir State was brought under Governor ruling on January 9th after none of the two parties are able to form the government. Hence, BJP and PDP may form the government in J&K State very soon.
