Early Times Report

JAMMU, Dec 1: It was on November 21 that J&K Governor SP Malik dissolved the assembly saying such an action had become imperative to avoid "horse-trading" and neutralize the money factor. He also said that both the PDP-NC-Congress grand alliance and the BJP-backed Sajad Lone wanted to form the government claiming that they had the required numbers. Out-on-the-limb and former CM Mehbooba Mufti had claimed that the PDP had 56 MLAs. On the other hand, Lone had claimed that he had 44 MLAs. Interestingly, Sajad Lone's party, People's Conference, had only a paltry 2 MLAs in the dissolved 87-member House.
A couple of days later, J&K Governor Malik made a startling disclosure about the whole episode in Madhya Pradesh. He claimed that had he looked at Delhi, Sajad Lone would have formed the government and he would have gone down in history as a dishonest man. So much so, he said that let them (Delhi) say whatever it wanted to say, I stood by what I did and "what I did, is right".
J&K Governor Malik had virtually suggested that he was against any kind of breaking of "legislative parties" and a government with dissident MLAs of other parties, but that the Central government was in favour of Lone attempting to form such a government. The revelation made by the Governor has put the BJP and the Union Government led by Narendra Modi in a tight spot and given an opportunity to anti-BJP forces to attack both the BJP and the Narendra Modi government. Feeling the heat, the Union Government has sought to clear the air, saying it had nothing to do with the dissolution of the J&K assembly and that the dissolution of the assembly was the decision of the J&K Governor. It was none other than the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh who explained the position of the Centre. "There had been no interference from Delhi in J&K," Rajnath Singh said. No instructions were given to Governor Satya Pal Malik on handling the political situation, which led to the dissolution of the assembly on November 21. It was left to the Governor to take the decision depending on the situation (unke vivek par faisla chhod diya gaya tha)," Home Minister said to end the controversy and silence the critics.
To be more precise, Rajnath Singh has clarified "there was no move by the Centre in favour of Lone over the others, even as many political leaders in J&K said "there had been open differences within the government and with the BJP over the course of action in J&K". In the meantime, senior BJP leader and former Dy CM Kavinder Gupta has acknowledged that the BJP was supporting Sajad Lone and, at the same time said that the party supports the decision of the Governor to dissolve the assembly.
