PDP, BJP say no differences but no hurry to form govt either

SRINAGAR : Allies PDP and BJP today dismissed speculation about any differences or new conditions between them over formation of new government in Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of death of Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
“There are certainly no conditions from our side and there was no meeting of our leaders on government formation.
“We respect the right of the bereaved family of Mufti Sahib to mourn his death,” BJP state president Sat Paul Sharma said.
Sharma said he had received a letter from the Governor on government formation but the party will take a decision on it only after Sayeed’s fourth day ceremony is observed tomorrow.
“There is no hurry on this issue. We will definitely be meeting after tomorrow’s ceremony for Mufti Sahib and take a decision,” he said.
Sharma said it was a “historic” coalition between the BJP and the PDP in the state and “we would like it continue”.
“We are interested in peace and development in the state and we want this coalition to continue on this path shown by Mufti Mohammd Sayeed,” he added. (AGENCIES)
