Early Times Report
KISHTWAR, Jan 7: As People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Bharatiya Janata Party are treading a cautious path to form the next government in the state a few hardliners in both the camps are reportedly preventing the parties to reach on the consensus.
Sources told Early Times that though both the parties are convinced over various development related issues like special package for last year flood victims, implementation of Ranga Rajan Committee report which includes transfer of 390 MW Dool-Hasti power project to state, beside recommendation of other working groups constituted by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, enhancement of annual budget plan, opening of more trade routes between India and Pakistan, setting of commission for losses suffered by the state due to Indus Water Treaty, free flow of funds for various centrally sponsored schemes after proper verification, declaration of Jammu and Kashmir as hilly and backward state and funds thereafter for bringing the state at par with the other states of the country and several other issues pertaining to various welfare schemes in PMRP.
Sources said that though at initial stage both parties were stuck over the Chief Minister's post, but the issue was resolved after BJP agreed to handover the reigns of the state to PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed for full six year term and in return PDP agreed to give away two important cabinet portfolios of Home and Power to BJP.
Sources said in the initial stage BJP also agreed to form a committee to look into the revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from militancy free areas.
Both the parties, they said, had also agreed not to discuss controversial issues like Article 370, implementation of modalities of self rule etc.
Sources said a few hardliners in the camps of both the parties are not allowing the power sharing deal to materialize.
BJP, sources said, had also assured the PDP leaders that party would talk to separatists if they come forward to hold the parleys within the ambit of Indian constitution. However, the BJP leaders had made it clear that they won't talk to Pakistan till it (Pakistan) stops supporting and abetting terror against India from its soil.
The BJP also refused to involve separatists in any future talks with Pakistan. "Keeping in view aspiration of the people who voted for both parties, PDP and BJP are treading a cautious path to chalk out a Common Minimum Program," sources added.
They claimed that leaders of both the parties are trying to push the hardliners aside so that new government assumes office before January 19, 2015, as the term of the present assembly would end by then and if new dispensation is not put at place Governor's rule would be imposed in Jammu and Kashmir. |
