Srinagar: Alleging that the state unit of the BJP has confessed to being party to the efforts to break the PDP, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah said that power at any cost would seem to be the guiding philosophy.
However, BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav was quick to reject the allegation, stating that the BJP is for continuing with the Governor’s rule in the interest of peace, governance and development in the state.
“Contrary to @rammadhavbjp assertions the state unit of the BJP confesses to being party to the efforts to break the @jkpdp. Power at any cost would seem to be the guiding philosophy,” Mr Abdullah, who is the Vice President of National Conference (NC), wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
But, terming the allegation as false, Madhav, who handles affairs of BJP in the state, tweeted, “Not true. I will certainly check with d state unit n ensure that BJP keeps itself scrupulously out of whatever is happening in other parties in d Valley. We are for continuing with Governor’s rule in d interest of peace, governance n development in d state.”
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti had to resign as the chief minister of the state last month after BJP pulled out of the coalition government, brining Jammu and Kashmir under Governor’s rule.
