Opportunistic BJP-PDP alliance set fire to J&K: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, June 19 (IBNS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday slammed the Bharataiya Janata Party and the  People Democratic Party's (PDP) and said they were engaged in an ' opportunistic ' alliance to set Jammu and Kashmir on fire.

Gandhi made the remarks after the BJP pull out from the alliance in the state.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Muftu also handed over her resignation to the Governor, making way for President's Rule in the north Indian state.

"The opportunistic BJP-PDP alliance set fire to J&K, killing many innocent people including our brave soldiers. It cost India strategically & destroyed years of UPA’s hard work. The damage will continue under President’s rule. Incompetence, arrogance & hatred always fails," Gandhi tweeted.

Earlier, BJP's Kashmir In-charge Ram Madhav told media that "it has become untenable for the BJP to continue with PDP."

BJP national president Amit Shah had earlier summoned BJP ministers from the state of Jammu and Kashmir to discuss the end of Ramzan ceasefire, that upset the saffron outfit's ally PDP, according to media reports.

The rift between the two parties- which ran the Jammu and Kashmir government- became prominent once again after the Centre decided to resume the anti-terror operations.

The PDP still maintains that the central government must reach out to the separatists to resolve the crisis in the valley.
