The Peoples Democratic Party has put forward five conditions for the right wing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party to form the next government in Kashmir. The PDP’s national spokesperson, Dr Sameer Koul Friday said that deliberations on government formation are going on with BJP and if the deal materializes, Mufti Muhammad Sayeed will be the chief minister of the state for whole six years. Koul admitted that Muzaffar Hussain Beigh is constantly in touch with BJP leaders and he has put forth five conditions before them. When asked what are the conditions that has been put forth by his party before the BJP, Koul said: the conditions include, the respect for the Self-Rule proposal (softening of borders), revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from peaceful areas, strengthening of Article 370, full tenure for Mufti Muhammad Sayeed as chief minister and comprehensive package and relief for flood hit people of Kashmir including traders. “These conditions we have put forth at initial stage and if the deal materializes, more conditions will follow,” Koul said adding that it is the dream of PDP to mitigate the sufferings of people and to provide them good governance.” “People will feel a real change if PDP forms the government. We will mean business and will relieve the people from sufferings. There will be no discrimination and even commoners will feel a change on the ground,” he said. “Politically, it will be not a suicide for PDP to form government with the support of BJP as we will govern the state on our own terms. We have our own ‘pro-people’ agenda and the party will not deviate from that agenda,” Koul said, adding that it is dead impossible for PDP to form government with National Conference. He said that National Conference is not a serious party while people have voted to keep it out of power. “How can we betray our people and form government with National Conference. National Conference leaders are always interested in filling their coffers rather than work in the interest of common people,” he said.
