Srinagar, Feb 11 : Leader of the opposition in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly, Sunil Kumar Sharma, on Tuesday said there are no chances of the BJP allying with the National Conference (NC) to form a government in J&K. Sharma emphasized that the party would seek answers from the government over issues faced by the common masses in the Union Territory.
In an exclusive chat with the news agency—, Sharma asserted that there is no question of forming a government with the NC. “We are in opposition, and we will play a role of constructive opposition and seek answers from the Omar Abdullah-led government over issues faced by the general public,” said Sharma, who is considered close to top BJP leadership.
Sharma, who played a key role in the BJP’s best-ever performance in the J&K polls in 2024 and campaigned for the party in the Delhi polls, accused Omar Abdullah of being non-serious about governance issues. “The common masses are suffering due to the apathetic attitude of the NC-led government. There is nobody on the ground to listen to the woes and sufferings of common people in Jammu, Doda-Kishtwar, or even in Kashmir. CM Omar Abdullah is always in picnicking mode. Hosting lunches and dinners in five-star hotels of Delhi will not ease the sufferings of common masses of Jammu & Kashmir,” he said, adding that corruption has started to take roots in government departments.
Sharma said that the BJP will leave no stone unturned to raise the issues of common masses within and outside the Assembly. “We will hold the government accountable over its electoral promises ranging from free electricity to 12 gas cylinders to free ration. They cannot deceive and hoodwink the gullible masses of J&K. They will have to give answers for each and every promise made by them to the public,” he said.
However, he added that they wouldn’t allow any anti-constitution or anti-national bill or resolution on the floor of the House. “We will oppose any such move tooth and nail,” he said.—
