Congress wants answer from former Kashmir govt: What did you accomplish?

Congress leaders met in Srinagar on Wedneday, a day after the party's top leadership met in the capital New Delhi.

Senior Congress leader Ambika Soni, AICC general secretary in-charge of J&K, Ghulam Nabi Azad, former chief minister of the state, and other Congress leaders from the state's three regions attended the meeting.

The Congress said the main aim of the meeting was to chalk out a roadmap in the Valley.

After the meeting, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Ghulam Ahmad Mir told reporters that PDP-BJP had left the state with scars, and held the parties responsible for forcing the state into Governor's rule.

Mir denied any support to a party or the formation of a coalition with any party in the state."Governor should improve the ground situation in the valley and early election should be held in the state," he said.

"We had told the governor in the all-parties meeting that if any party gives in writing to form the government, then it should be done immediately, otherwise there is a scope of horsetrading which will make the state suffer more," he added.

Mir had earlier said the BJP was making "desperate attempts" to form a government in the state.

Soni said the Congress has sought a reply from the Centre as well as the former state government as to why they had forged an alliance and what they had accomplished during their tenure.

Meanwhile, amid speculation that a third front was being formed by the BJP with PDP and independent MLAs, senior PDP leader Imran Abbas Ansari said the People's Democratic Party has been turned into "Family Democratic Party".

On being asked if a government should be formed in the sate, he said he stood for fresh elections.
