The National Conference Wednesday said the erstwhile coalition partners, PDP and BJP, want to influence the Lok Sabha polls by "deceit and deception" in Jammu and Kashmir as they are still in an "alliance" despite the fall of their government.
"We have credible information about the PDP soliciting the advice and direction of the BJP for fielding candidates, convenient to it, for Jammu-Poonch and Kathua-Udhampur parliamentary constituencies to facilitate division of anti-BJP votes to ensure the victory of BJP candidates," the party said in a statement here.
The statement, issued by senior party leaders, including provincial president, Jammu, Devender Singh Rana, expressed surprise over the "clandestine PDP-BJP bonhomie" ahead of the Lok Sabha elections and said "the duo were still in an alliance and hand-in-glove to influence the polls by deceit and deception."
