BJP may form coalition Govt with some Kashmiri as CM? | A new twist | | Early Times Report JAMMU, Oct 28: There is the possibility of the BJP stitching an alliance with law-makers from Kashmir and forming a coalition government in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh State. This is what credible sources in the BJP suggest. Insiders revealed that "the BJP could allow formation of coalition government in the state under some Kashmiri leader with the BJP handling some important portfolios". What the credible sources in the BJP are suggesting just cannot be ignored. There appears a substance in what they are suggesting. That the state could witness formation of another coalition government could be gauged from what Governor Satya Pal Malik on Saturday told a news channel during an interview. The Governor, who had on many occasions after June 25 overruled the possibility of government formation in the state, has diluted his stand on the issue. He has said that he would recommend dissolution of the assembly and fresh elections in the state only if the present law-makers failed to form a viable government. "If a viable government can't be formed out of the present assembly, I will write to the President of India to take a decision on it," Governor Malik was quoted as saying. It was clear from what the state Governor said that there still existed the possibility of government formation in the state out of the present assembly. The BJP has 25 MLAs, the PDP 27, the NC 15, the Congress 11, the People's Conference of Sajad Lone 2 and the CPI-(M) 1 in the 87-member assembly. Sajad Lone is an ally of the BJP and he was a minister in the PDP-led coalition government out of the BJP quota. If one goes by the existing composition of the assembly, then the possibility of the BJP forming a coalition government in the state appears to be too remote. It can form coalition government only it could wean away 17 PDP MLAs or cause a vertical split in the PDP and the NC. And if it happens, the BJP would not only lose its face in the state but also across the country and give an opportunity to its political foes to denounce the BJP and accuse it of indulging in horse-trading. |
