BJP desperate to join government, NC never thinks about any alliance with them, says Sakina Itoo

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, OCTOBER 12 (STC): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is desperate to join the government in Jammu & Kashmir and National Conference has never thought about any alliance with BJP, Cabinet Minister Sakina Itoo said while talking to reporters here today.
Sakina Itoo strongly dismissed BJP claim that the National Conference (NC) had approached it for an alliance, terming the assertion as the “joke of the year.”
Reacting to BJP Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma’s statement that NC leaders, including Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, had shown interest in joining hands with the saffron party, Itoo said the claims were “baseless and laughable.”
She said, “We have a clear majority in the Legislative Assembly. Then why should we approach the BJP for an alliance? The Chief Minister has already made it categorically clear that he will never form an alliance with the BJP.”
The Minister said the National Conference stands firm on its political and constitutional commitments and will not compromise on its ideology for power. “Our stand is unambiguous. The Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and the party leadership have repeatedly said that NC will not have any political understanding with the BJP,” she added.
Itoo further said that the NC government has already passed a resolution in the Assembly seeking restoration of Article 370 and statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
