SRINAGAR : Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and working president of National Conference Omar Abdullah today said Peoples Democratic Party and BJP are trying to fool people on government formation when they have no problem in sharing seats for Rajya Shaba (RS) and Legislative Council elections in Jammu and Kashmir. In a Tweet, Mr Abdullah said, “If there are ‘hurdles’ in @BJP4India & @jkpdp alliance talks as we keep being told by ‘sources’ how come they manage seat sharing so easily.” “Both for the Rajya Sabha & MLC elections seat sharing has been effortless for them so who are they trying to fool on Govt formation?,” he asked.
The PDP emerge as the single largest party in the 87-member House with 28 seats followed by BJP with 25 seats. The NC got 15 seats while the Congress could manage just 12 seats while two seats were won by Peoples Conference (PC), one each by CPI(M), Peoples Democratic Front (PDF).and Awami Itehand Party (AIP) and two seats went to independents. Though the NC and Congress has announced unconditional support to PDP but the party (PDP) is holding talks with BJP to form a coalition government in the state. Yesterday Mr Abdullah, who lost Sonawar seat in Srinagar but won Beerwa in central Kashmir district of Badgam said, “After a bitterly contested election it’s nice to see Mehbooba jiattending the wedding reception of Amit Shah’s son.”
