SRINAGAR, June 23: BJP today said the coalition Government in the State will complete its full term and that there were no differences with their ruling partner People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“There is always pressure of the people on the Governments everywhere and not just in Jammu and Kashmir and it is good for them. This Government will work with more seriousness and responsibility and I am sure that this Government will last for the full term,” BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav told reporters here.
Madhav also said that there were no differences or tension between the coalition partners, BJP and PDP.
“I was in Jammu for the whole day yesterday. I met all BJP ministers and MLAs. There is no confrontation between the two coalition partners. Everyone is working in a cooperative manner…It is natural to have expectations that things can be better. It is good for the Government when there are expectations. But there are no differences or tension between the coalition partners,” he said.
BJP general secretary said there was nothing bad in having expectations about additional funds from the Centre for the rehabilitation of flood victims while responding to a question regarding people in Valley terming package as inadequate for flood victims relief.
“A delegation of officials from the Centre will soon visit here to take a full assessment and then hold discussions. The State is slated to get funds under the 14 Finance Commission in good numbers. And so far, the flood relief is concerned, the officials in the Central Government will discuss whatever expectations the State Government has and provide all help to the State,” he added.
He said natural disasters have hit other states as well and if any State feels it had not got what it needed, the Centre would look into it.
Asked about the demand for return of power projects from NHPC to the State, Madhav said talks were on between the State and the Centre on the issue, as we have said in the agenda (Agenda for Alliance – the common minimum programme between coalition partners) that we will talk about it with the Centre.
Earlier, Madhav chaired a workers meet in the party office here.
While listening to party workers grievances, he assured them that BJP High Command was committed to address their genuine issues.
“BJP formed the Government first time in the State and it is committed to the development and good governance in the State,” Madhav said.
