Meanwhile, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said that alliance and seat sharing are far away.

He further said that when we formed an alliance earlier also, we had an agenda, when we formed an alliance with BJP, we had an agenda on which they agreed but the alliance between National Conference and Congress is not happening on agenda, it is happening on seat sharing. We will not make any such alliance in which there is only talk of seat sharing. The alliance should be on agenda and our agenda is to solve the problem of Jammu and Kashmir.
BJP called PDP’s manifesto a copy-paste
Former Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and BJP leader Kavinder Gupta said on the PDP manifesto that it is a copy paste of the National Conference manifesto. They are from the same plate, they are traitors. Congress is also supporting them.
He further said that we should think about all these issues that they want to make Jammu and Kashmir a hell again. They want to release those people from jail who used to pelt stones. It is clear that they are dependent on each other. Congress was wiped out, they are trying to save themselves.
