| | | | Can BJP desist from playing second fiddle to PDP? | | | | Abodh Sharma
Early Times Report
Jammu, March 1: On the hind side of euphoria within BJP to have assumed power in Jammu and Kashmir for the first time, there are apprehensions that BJP that represents Jammu region in the Government, did not start playing second fiddle to its coalition partner PDP; the indication of which was evident in the list of Cabinet Ministers, in which 11 names were from the PDP and merely 5 from the BJP.

Early Times Report
JAMMU, Mar 1: The strategic Jammu province is sitting on a volcano of discontent. The people of the region cutting across party lines are chaffing.

The anger of the people of Jammu province is not only directed towards the discriminatory, arrogant, selfish and insensitive p... | |

He seems to have read the lines wrong and seemingly made a vain bid to appease the ex-Political Advisor, who not only believed in this astrological prediction but shared it not only with party colleagues but also purportedly with the ex-Chief Mini... | |
