The Jammu and Kashmir unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday said that there were no differences between coalition partners in the state and the PDP-BJP govt was “working well”.
“As far as the coalition is concerned, there are no differences among partners. The PDP-BJP government is working well. Everyone is performing his or her task,” state BJP unit chief Sat Sharma told media persons.
“The chief minister is engaged in daily work... so are ministers and the deputy chief minister. There is no tension,” he added.
Sharma’s statement came ahead of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi today amid the deteriorating security situation in the state and reports of strains in the PDP-BJP coalition.
The J&K BJP chief also regretted that PDP’s candidate lost in the legislative council polls.
The PDP had earlier accused the BJP of betraying it in the council elections, in which an associate member of the PDP voted in favour of the BJP candidate on assurance of a post.
BJP MLA Ravinder Raina hoped the meeting between Modi and Mehbooba will bring positive results for ensuring better law and order situation in Kashmir, restoring peace and speeding up the development works in the state.
