"If they (PDP and BJP) are unable to form the government, they should clear their stand with Governor (N N Vohra) so that the Assembly is dissolved and fresh elections are held," he said.
Rana said if PDP and BJP have felt that "10-month-long rule on the basis of 'Agenda of Alliance' had failed and people have been deceived, they should go to the people again. We are ready for polls."
