Main opposition Peoples Democratic Party today alleged the National Conference, despite sharing power with the Congress in both Jammu and Kashmir and at the Centre, had an undeclared alliance with the BJP.

In a statement here, PDP spokesperson Sardar Rangil Singh alleged the ruling National Conference was a party of opportunist elements.

"On the one hand, the NC has been enjoying powers with the Congress. On the other, its undeclared alliance with the BJP is still going on," he said.

Pointing out the NC was a part of the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA regime, Singh said after the formation of the UPA government, the party had shifted its loyalty and joined the UPA but its undeclared alliance with the BJP was on.
 

The election to four Rajya Sabha seats in 2009 was a testimony to the undeclared alliance between the two parties, the statement said.

"The election to four RS seats had exposed the NC-BJP undeclared alliance. On the direction of a senior BJP leader, some BJP MLAs had voted in favour of the NC candidate," Singh said.

Further, the 2011 Legislative Council polls in which seven BJP MLAs crossed-voted in favour of NC candidates showed both the parties had an undeclared alliance, he said.
