'Beneath my dignity to clarify on NC claims of BJP alliance'

National Conference leaders have accused the PDP of entering into a secret alliance with the BJP for the ongoing Lok Sabha polls, which PDP has countered by saying that the NC was spreading baseless rumours about the opposition.  

Omar Abdullah and Farooq Abdullah during their election campaigns have alleged that PDP was acting as the ‘B-team' of the BJP by fielding candidates in Jammu for splitting the “secular vote”.

Sayeed, however, was non-committal when asked if his PDP will join the NDA if the latter comes to power at the Centre.

“You should not tell me that...We have an issue to resolve. If we get the people's mandate, the number does not matter as it is the quality. There is a trust deficit that needs to be addressed,” he said.

The former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir said his party is clear in its stand that it will have to work with everyone at the national level for resolution of Kashmir issue.
