naem aktherNaeem Akhtar, senior leader of Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party Thursday delivered a tough message to the BJP, saying his party expects concrete action on an agenda for governance agreed upon last year, to continue an alliance in Jammu and Kashmir.

"An agenda of alliance was drafted…it has to be implemented," Akhtar told NDTV today, adding that his party was reviewing how much of "the common vision of PM and Mufti Sahab regarding J&K" had been taken forward.

Jammu and Kashmir is under temporary President's Rule as Mehbooba Mufti, picked by the PDP to replace her father as chief minister, has refused to take oath just yet. The PDP has not explained the delay.

Akhtar said Mehbooba had as yet not called a party meeting to discuss government formation. Her father had after weeks of hard negotiation last year entered into an alliance with ideological opposite BJP, based on an "agenda of alliance."(Agencies)
