Days after the BJP withdrew its support to the PDP-led government in Jammu and Kashmir, its national general secretary and MP Anil Jain today said his party is committed to five things including revocation of Article 370 which accords a special status to the state.

Listing Uniform Civil Code, Ram Mandir, the Ganga and cow, as other subject matters of party's commitment, Jain said these issues can only be delayed for some time depending on the developing situation in the country.

I am serious of my words The BJP is committed to the issues of cow, Ganga, Uniform Civil Code, Article 370 and Ram Mandir. Given the emerging situation, one or the other might take time to get fulfilled, Jain told reporters here.

He said the BJP has not forgotten anything and it is committed to the revocation of the Article 370.

The BJP and the PDP had agreed to an status quo on the issue in their Agenda of Alliance (AOA), chalked out before the formation of the coalition government in the state.

On withdrawal of support to the PDP, Jain said it was not sudden and the bitter decision was taken after Mehbooba Mufti paid no heed to its warnings.

The Centre was of the opinion that when there would be development in the state, its problems will automatically get solved," he said
We tried our best and the entire nation and the world watched that we made sincere and honest efforts, he said adding the decision was not sudden but we reached out to her through our ministers, including the deputy chief minister."
