PDP-BJP Govt will not be stable: Farooq

Excelsior Correspondent
KATHUA, Apr 10:  Charging Mehbooba Mufti with failure as Chief Minister, the National Conference president Farooq Abdullah today predicted that the PDP-BJP coalition Government will not be stable.
“Eruption of trouble in NIT Srinagar within a day of Mehbooba Mufti taking oath as Chief Minister and her inept handling of the issue clearly hints that she has failed to prove her worth and take decisions,” he said while addressing a public meeting at Lacchipur, here today.
The NC leader predicted that the present coalition Government will not be stable in view of contradictions between the ruling PDP and BJP.  “It appears that this Government will not last long till its tenure and therefore the NC workers should remain ready for the next Assembly elections very soon,” he said.
Alleging that some anti-national forces were hell bent to disintegrate the country on the name of religion, region or caste, Farooq Abdullah, however, stressed that such people would not succeed in their nefarious designs and India will remain one.
“Earlier in 1947, Britishers divided us into India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and some forces are now working on the same lines to further disintegrate the country, but we will not allow them to succeed,” he said.
NC provincial president, Devinder Singh Rana and other senior leaders of the party accompanied Dr Farooq Abdullah, who also visited the residence of late Gyaneshwar Singh, a former leader of National Conference.
