BJP today rubbished reports of differences with PDP over distribution of portfolios in the government that would be formed in Jammu and Kashmir under Mehbooba Mufti.
"The BJP has already decided to support PDP in the formation of the government in the state and as far as the date for swearing-in is concerned we will sit together and take a final decision on that.
"There are no differences today and there were no differences earlier also," BJP state president Sat Sharma told reporters here after a party meeting.
When asked whether there were any differences over the distribution of portfolios, he said the portfolio allocation would be decided at a later stage.
"The priority right now is about the date of swearing-in. The portfolios will be decided at a later stage when both the parties will sit together. We will sit together very soon," he said.
The former Deputy Chief Minister and BJP legislative party leader Dr Nirmal Singh said leaders of both the parties are yet to sit together and decide on the date of swearing-in. He said BJP was committed to the Agenda of Alliance.
"We will sit together and sort out the procedural matters. Both the alliance partners will sit together and decide on that," Singh said.
