‘PDP PUTS FIVE CONDITIONS BEFORE BJP FOR GOVT FORMATION IN JK’ SRINAGAR – The Peoples Democratic Party’s national spokesperson – Dr Sameer Koul – Friday said that deliberations on government formation were going on with the Bharatiya Janata Party and if the deal materializes, Mufti Muhammad Sayeed will be the Chief Minister of the state for whole six years. “Politically, it will be not a suicide for PDP to form government with the support of BJP as we will govern the state on our own terms. We have our own ‘pro-people’ agenda and the party will not deviate from that agenda,” Koul said. Dr Sameer Koul admitted that PDP’s senior leader Muzaffar Hussain Beigh was constantly in touch with BJP leaders and he has put forth all the conditions before them. When asked what the conditions that has been put forth by his party before the BJP are, Dr Sameer Koul said that at initial stage they have put forth five conditions including the respect for the Self-Rule proposal, revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from peaceful areas, strengthening of Article 370, full tenure for Mufti Muhammad Sayeed as Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, and comprehensive package and relief for flood hit people of Kashmir including traders. “These conditions we have put forth at initial stage and if the deal materializes, more conditions will follow,” Koul said adding that it is the dream of PDP to mitigate the sufferings of people and to provide them good governance. “People will feel a real change if PDP forms the government. We will mean business and will relieve the people from sufferings. There will be no discrimination and even commoners will feel a change on the ground,” he said. Koul said that it is dead impossible for PDP to form government with the National Conference. He said that National Conference is a non serious party while people have voted to keep this party out of power. “How can we betray our people and form government with National Conference. National Conference leaders are always interested in filling their coffers rather than work in the interest of common people,” he said.
