| BJP not to put core issues on back-burner for power | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 8: Jugal Kishore Sharma, Member Parliament and state chief of BJP, confirmed that formal dialogue with PDP has started and very soon some concrete would be emerged from the dialogue. He asserted that his party would not put core issues to the back-burner but maintained that some controversial points would be dropped to arrive at a consensus for alliance.
Jugal Kishore Sharma, who addressed a press conference to claim that his party has created history by opening account in the RajyaSabha election from Jammu and Kashmir, said that the result of Delhi election, which will be out on Tuesday, will have no impact on government formation in Jammu and Kashmir.
BJP said it would be an "agenda-based alliance" but there were some issues on which both the parties are yet to reach a consensus. The structured dialogue is already under process.
On the issue of ideological differences between the two parties, he said, "so far BJP has not put any of its agenda under the carpet and we are in discussion (with PDP),but it is also a fact that BJP did not get majority to form the government on its own".
He said that BJP was still holding discussion. "We cannot comment on what issues we will reach a consensus and what issues need to be dropped," he said.
"We are discussing and debating on the issues and agenda and will let you know when the two sides reach an agreement.
We will let you know on what issues we agree and what we reject. Our central leadership is discussing what issues we need to include and what to drop," he said.
Among the contentious issues are demand for revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act and Article 370, which gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Sharma said that BJP was not in a hurry vis-a-vis the formation of the government in Jammu and Kashmir as the party was committed to provide a strong and stable government to the people that completes its tenure of six years. He said that the coalition between BJP and PDP would be issue based and the party (BJP) would not push any of its "main agendas" under the carpet. "If BJP enters into an alliance it would be purely based on agendas and issues. It would be an agenda based alliance" he said. "Dialogue (for the formation of the government in J&K) is on and we will see how far it goes. Our agendas are being discussed and will see how and when a consensus is reached on these issues," he said.
While expressing hope that his party would form the next government in New Delhi, elections for which were held yesterday, Sharma said that the results of Delhi elections would not impact the government formation in Jammu and Kashmir.
"Delhi elections have no link with the government formation in Jammu and Kashmir and the process for the formation of the government in Jammu and Kashmir will continue irrespective of what the results of Delhi elections are. We are hopeful that BJP will get a majority in Delhi also," he said. |
