PDP, NC are selfish: Ram Madhav

SRINAGAR, MAR 27 (PTK): BJP general secretary and in-charge for Jammu and Kashmir Ram Madhav on Wednesday said that PDP president Mehbooba Mufti and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah are selfish

He said that Mufti and Farooq are okay with contesting Lok Sabha elections but opposed to local polls over Article 35A and Article 370. Madhav said this while referring to PDP and NC stand to boycott the local body polls in the state last year over Centre’s tough stand on Article 35A and Article 370.

Madhav said the BJP’s stand remains the same on these two Articles of the Constitution.

Madhav also took the opportunity to say PDP and NC are promoting ‘dynasty’ politics, adding that the BJP has fielded candidates based on their merit.

“We have denied tickets to many on the basis of dynasty. We have given tickets only to those who have worked in the party for many years,” he said. (PTK)
