Mehbooba unlikely to fall in BJP's honey trap 2/11/2016 11:11:04 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Feb 11: PDP is unlikely to accept the proposal of the BJP that Mehbooba Mufti should first assume the office of CM Jammu and Kashmir and then project the Kashmir specific CBMs that she has been reiterating as pre condition to enter into alliance with BJP again. "We are not power hungry and it has been cleared by the stance of the Mehbooba Mufti as she had refused to assume the chair unless the Centre announces confidence-building-measures are announced by the Centre," said a senior PDP leader. The stance of the PDP comes amidst reports that BJP is reluctant to announce more CBMs more than what are there in the in the Agenda of Alliance. There is a section in the BJP which still believes that that the party can't be seen to be too much accommodative to the demands rather pressures of the PDP as it thinks that will affect its core constituency in the Jammu region. "The PDP first make up its mind if it wants to run the government or not. It can't be seen as dictating terms to the party which is running the country and having huge majority. If there are issues it can be discussed but they can't breathe down our throat. We too have constituency and like that of PDP ours is also very sensitive," said a BJP leader. It's because of the hardening of the positions on both sides which is getting more hardened with the delay both the sides have stepped by engagements to find a way. Sources said a meeting of the top leadership of the both parties was held at the resident of former PWD minister Altaf Bukhari. Though Bukhari had termed the visit of the BJP ex-ministers to his residence as a courtesy call, But it was significant as the meeting attended by former Dy CM was held a day before he along with the state BJP president Sat Pal Sharma left N Delhi for a meeting called by the top leadership of the RSS, where the Sangh has favoured the continuation of the alliance.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
