| Results in J&K ad thrown fractured mandate: PM | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Apr 20: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the results in Jammu and Kashmir had thrown a fractured mandate.
PM Modi said "We had won the maximum number of seats but we were not in the position to form a government. We did not even stake claim for it. We thought that the PDP-NC will form a minimum common program and form a government in the state in the interest of the people and we will play the role of the opposition".
He added for months the state was under Governor's rule. "There was no progress. After that Mufti Senior thought that something needs to be done. So he made a proposal. That day we said it publicly that we are polar opposites and our ideologies do not concur. We had told the country about it, nothing was hidden from anyone. We thought that we would go ahead keeping the development projects of the state in mind. We came up with a minimum programme and went ahead with it", he said.
"Till the time Mufti was there, developmental projects were given a priority. Construction of roads, schools and hospitals picked pace. We too felt that if we could keep the other issues aside and focus on these issues, the work for the common people should not halt. Unfortunately, he passed away. Mehbooba came to power" PM Modi added.
Modi added Mehbooba was in a dilemma of sorts. " A Governor's rule was imposed, she did not want to return to power. We went along with it. We thought that if a Governor's rule is imposed there is going to be another kind of resistance across the nation. The house remained in suspended animation. Mehbooba agreed after a couple of months. We went ahead with it again", he said. |
