BJP will form stable govt with 'some friends' in J&K: Ram Madhav

BJP general secretary Ram Madhav on Sunday said while his party would most likely go it alone in the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections, it would form a "stable government with some friends" in the state after the polls.

He said his party would contest all seats in the state.

"There is the least possibility of a pre-poll alliance with any party for the assembly elections in the state. The BJP will emerge (as) the largest party after the elections and will give a stable government to the people with some friends," Madhav told reporters here.

Due to the special circumstances in the state, "we have no hesitation in joining hands with others" to form the government, he said.

Talking about the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) erstwhile ruling alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he said, "After elections we formed an alliance, but today again the BJP is going it alone in the elections."
Asked about the PDP expelling former minister Altaf Bukhari, Madhav said,"I don't want to talk about internal matters of another political party, but I must underscore one point here that he is the same leader who was projected as the chief minister of the combined opposition when they (PDP, Congress and National Conference) were trying to form the government in the state just a couple of months ago."
