No deal, discussion between NC-BJP: Omar

Jammu, Dec 25 (IBNS) National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah on Thursday denied reports of any kind of deal or discussion held between his party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

"All the camera crews outside my home are going to be very disappointed when I leave Srinagar tomorrow having met no one 'interesting' here," Omar tweeted.

" I hope someone from the PDP/BJP/Cong steps up & forms a government in J&K quickly. Denying stupid rumours is fast becoming a full time job," he said.

Union finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday met the newly elected MLAs of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jammu and Kashmir and said the decision on government formation in the northern state has been left to party chief Amit Shah.

Jaitley, who met BJP's 25 MLAs in Jammu after being appointed as observer along with the party's national secretary Arun Singh, said: "I met each new elected MLAs of BJP separately. The result here has created a situation for hung Assembly. I took advice on the government formation in such situation from all. The MLA's also advised on the role of BJP."

He said the MLAs decided to authorize BJP President Amit Shah to decide on the government formation in Jammu and Kashmir.

The BJP has emerged as a major player for the first time in the state.

The fate of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is still undecided.

The poll result from the recently concluded Jammu and Kashmir election saw BJP winning 25 seats, Indian National Congress winning 12 seats,  PDP winning the highest number of 28 seats and 7 seats were won by others in the 87-member assembly.
