Omar-BJP deal:Deputy CM post, Cabinet berth at Centre and Rajya Sabha seat BJP to form govt with NC in Jammu & Kashmir; Nirmal Singh to be CM? New Delhi: If the sources are to be believed, the state of Jammu and Kashmir could soon see a Hindu Chief Minister for the first time ever as the Bharatiya Janata Party is all set to form government with the support of Omar Abdullah’s National Conference. While three names - Devendra Singh Rana, Miyan Altaf, Ali Mohammed - are in the race for deputy chief minister’s post, Omar could be given Rajya Sabha seat. Omar Abdullah had earlier ruled out post-poll alliance with BJP given its stand on issues like Article 370, Uniform Civil Code and Babri Masjid as also with any other party. Asked about the possibility of his party allying with the BJP to form the next government, he said it was inconceivable for his National Conference to get into alliance with that party in view of the latters stand on issues which are important to the people of the state. The BJP went silent on Article 370 (during the election campaign) but has not dissociated from its stand on it, it has not dissociated from Ramjanambhoomi-Babri Masjid issue, it has not dissociated from Common (Uniform) Civil Code. Right till now, you have a Prime Minister who is silent about the issue of forcible conversions that is going on in some parts of the country. These are issues National Conference will find very difficult to reconcile itself to, should the BJP require support from the National Conference. I dont see a situation like that emerging, he had said. Meanwhile, BJP on Thursday denied reports that its leadership had held discussions with National Conference (NC) on government formation in Jammu and Kashmir. Amid media reports that the outgoing Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had met BJP President Amit Shah here last night, party general secretary Ram Madhav tweeted, News about BJP leaders meeting NC leadership in Delhi baseless.
