What's the story

BJP General-Secretary Ram Madhav today rejected reports that his party was working to form a government in Jammu and Kashmir with PDP MLAs and said it was for continuing with Governor's rule in J&K in the interest of peace and development. His comments came after former J&K CM Omar Abdullah tweeted a news report claiming the saffron party was looking to form a government.

Here's the tweet by the former J&K CM

Contrary to @rammadhavbjp assertions the state unit of the BJP confesses to being party to the efforts to break the @jkpdp. Power at any cost would seem to be the guiding philosophy. https://t.co/ttWysLsGZ0

Madhav denies reports about forming govt with PDP

Reacting to the reports, Madhav, the BJP's pointsman for the state, said, "Not true. I will certainly check with the state unit and ensure that BJP keeps itself... out of whatever is happening in other parties in the Valley." The BJP had last month pulled out of the coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir, bringing the state under Governor's rule.
