National General Secretary (org) of BJP, Ram Lal during a closed door training workshop of the party MLA's and MLCs at Katra said, "We have entered into alliance with PDP in Jammu and Kashmir for development and welfare of the people and the state".
He said that the people across the country had displayed their strong urge to give governance of the country to BJP by casting highest percentage of votes in its favour.
He said that even though the party could not win a single seat in Kashmir and Ladakh but the polling trend was in favour of BJP.
Ram Lal said that winning 25 seats in Jammu Province was the mandate to form the government and the party went ahead to enter into an alliance with PDP to honour the will of the people.
"We are not power hungry but this alliance has been established for development", he said.
