Equitable development priority of BJP-PDP Govt: Dr Jitendra

Excelsior Correspondent

NEW DELHI, Feb 27: Equitable development of all the three regions of Jammu and Kashmir would be the priority of PDP-BJP Government that is set to be sworn in, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said today.
Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, Singh, who is MP from Udhampur, said the Government would focus on issues like development which rise above all areas of disagreement and both the parties will have “equal participation and mutual respect”.
“I think the emphasis would be on issues which rise above all the areas of disagreement. For example notably the issue of development. Therefore the priority of both sides will be development and that too equitable development of all the three regions of the State,” Singh said.
He added that given the kind of mandate that had emerged in this election for the J&K Assembly, a PDP-BJP alliance was the best option available.
“This is a historic opportunity. This is the best decision that could have happened, given the kind of mandate that has been given by the State of Jammu and Kashmir,” said Singh.
He said the Government would be formed on a great degree of mutual respect.
“We would have an equal participation in Government and I think this is a Government which is going to be formed with great degree of mutual respect on issues on which the two sides agree and also on issues on which the two sides disagree,” he added.
Meanwhile, Dr Jitendra Singh met Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and personally conveyed his best wishes on the eve of his taking over as CM for the second time. He also lauded the painstaking efforts by representatives from BJP and PDP including BJP national secretary Ram Madhav and senior PDP leader H. Drabu in finalizing the alliance between the two parties.
Mufti Sayeed recalled his long association with Dr Jitendra Singh dating back to several decades. In response, Dr  Singh complimented Mufti for his half-a-century of political experience and statesmanship which placed the latter in the category of senior-most political veterans in the country today.
