NEW DELHI, Feb 21: BJP general secretary Ram Madhav, who has been negotiating for Government formation in Jammu and Kashmir with the State party leaders, today met party president Amit Shah here and discussed the issues related to the installation of new Government in the State.
The meeting took place at the party headquarters where both leaders deliberated on the emerging political situation in Jammu and Kashmir, party sources said.
Meanwhile, BJP and PDP are “trying hard” to find a common ground on issues like Article 370 and Armed Forces Special Powers Act on which the two parties have traditionally held different views, a senior leader of BJP said today.
BJP general secretary Ram Madhav said if “compromise” was to be made by either side then a solution to the differences would have been found long ago.
“Both the parties are trying sincerely to arrive at an understanding on common minimum programme (CMP) of governance. There are a couple of political issues on which traditionally we have held different views. We are trying hard to find a common ground,” he said.
He said both the parties have firm views and are working on arriving at common understanding on “how to present these views as part of the larger governance agenda. Until that common understanding is arrived at, no progress is possible.”
