NC flays PDP,BJP for uncertainty over govt formation

Opposition National Conference today criticised PDP and BJP for maintaining uncertainty over government formation in Jammu and Kashmir and asked the coalition partners to come clear on the issue without keeping the people waiting.
"If they cannot make the government, then they should make it clear so that we can take the next stand, whatever it is. Why keep people waiting in a situation where terrorism is all over," NC patron and former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah told reporters here today.
"As far as I am concerned the point here is that the two (PDP and BJP) have the mandate. BJP here (in Jammu) and PDP there (in Kashmir). I would request them, for God's sake get on with their job," he added.

While targeting the two parties over the uncertainty, Abdullah said, "People want a government, so that their difficulties could be removed. That is very important."
His comments came as the suspense continued for the 13th day over government formation with PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti keeping her plans secret.
The state is currently under Governor's rule following the death of the Mehbooba's father and then Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on January 7.

Yesterday, president of state unit of BJP Sat Sharma said the government will be in place very soon.
PDP has said Mehbooba is in the process of reviewing the implementation of the 'Agenda of Alliance' during the 10-month-rule of PDP-BJP government headed by her father and a decision would be taken in due course.

Replying to a query on black money, Abdullah said,
"Circulation of black money will never end from our country. Every political party banks on black money. When the state Assembly elections will be held, we will see who will use choppers and flights for campaigning which will prove whether the demonetisation has ended the black money from the market or not."
He also questionned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his policy regarding Pakistan.
"In a stopover, Modi went to wish Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif and had a dinner with him in his kitchen. Modi touched the feet of Sharif's mother. But, there was no dialogue between these two leaders to improve the relationship between the two countries...If there was any dialogue held let it be known to everyone," he said.
