National Conference today said that the "dissent" within PDP was the biggest stumbling block in government formation in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The dissent within the PDP is the biggest stumbling block in government formation in Jammu and Kashmir. The high moral grandstanding on the so-called 'Agenda of Alliance' is just a facade and misleading tactic to divert the attention of people from real problem," NC Provincial President Devender Singh Rana said.
PDP will have to explain nearly one-and-a- half months "melodrama leading to political stalemate in the state", he said.
"Does this suggest that everything was alright with PDP-BJP alliance during its ten month rule, which PDP dumps as a useless and unpopular arrangement to cover up inner party crisis," he said.
Rana said the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh have been taken for a ride by the North Pole-South Pole alliance, "first by playing tug of war and then entering into wedlock with singular motivation to remain glued to power."
Rana said the PDP owes an explanation as to where the Agenda of Alliance has harmed the interests of the state and if so, will it hold the former Chief Minister responsible for failing the people.
"For us, the PDP-BJP alliance has from day-one worked against the interest of the people, the youth, the poor, the flood sufferers, the PoK refugees and above all the unity of the three regions of the state," he added.
