AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi took a dig at the Bhartiya Janata Party and the PDP after they broke the alliance between them in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.

Targetting the BJP he said that the party failed to deliver in the state, provide governance, counter cross-border terrorism and stop attacks on army camps.

He said that the party did not implement any of the promises andjust worked on removing Article 370 from the state.

He said the party broke the alliance after it realised that it was losing ground in J&K.

He also hit out at Mehbooba Mufti saying that he does not have any sympathy for the PDP.

Owaisi said that the alliance between them was similar to an alliance between the North Pole and the South Pole.

Calling it an unfortunate step, he said that it will lead to more repression in the state as the security personnel take orders from the Union of government.

While CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury also attacked the BJP claiming that itdid not try to make any efforts to fulfil the promises. He added that the party never initiated any dialogue with separatist.

Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, on the other hand, termed the breaking away of the alliance as a good move.

He said, "Whatever has happened is good. People of J&K will get some relief. They (BJP) ruined Kashmir and have now pulled out, maximum number of civilian and army men died during these 3 years. That question does not arise (on forming an alliance with PDP)"

BJP alliance partner Shiv Sena's leader Sanjay Raut said, "This alliance was anti-national and unnatural. Our party chief had said, this alliance won't work out. Had they continued with it they would have had to answer in 2019 Lok Sabha election."
