New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said yesterday it has kept all options open in Jammu and Kashmir following the assembly polls that threw up a hung house.
Talking to reporters after a meeting of the BJP parliamentary board here, Union Health Minister and party leader JP Nadda described the results of assembly polls in Jharkhand and Jammu and Kashmir as a victory of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s good governance agenda.
Besides, he said a meeting of its legislators in Jharkhand will soon be held.
“The results of the assembly polls were discussed and the parliamentary board expressed a great sense of satisfaction,” Nadda said.
Nadda said Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and BJP national secretary Arun Singh, who will go as observers, will hold a meeting of the BJP legislature party that will elect its leader in Jammu and Kashmir.
Asked about Jammu and Kashmir, where the assembly polls have thrown up a fractured mandate, he said the party was “open to all options”.
On Jharkhand, Nadda said the party will form a government but did not give any dateline. “We will form government in Jharkhand, a meeting of the legislature party will be called soon,” said Nadda.
“This is the first time since the creation of the state (in 2000) that a pre-poll alliance or political party has won such a big majority,” he said. IANS
