Unite! PDP can return to power: MP Baig tells legislators:

Agencies

Srinagar, July 17: Breaking the silence over the fall of the Mehbooba led PDP-BJP coalition government for the first time, PDP’s founder leader and member parliament, Muzaffar Hussain Baig on Tuesday appealed all party legislators to unite and exuded confidence that PDP can return to power at any time.
Baig was quoted by Kashmir News Agency saying: “I was the president of the party and hold the honour to script its constitution and lay its foundation. As such no other person can be more concerned than me about the survival of the party. I appeal all legislators to bury the hatchet and not pay heed to rumours spread to create chaos among them.”
Saying that he is shocked to see party MLAs in a helpless situation, Baig said: “Unfortunately some people have taken decisions without consulting me and as such party MLAs should show courage, unite and work for the causes they were elected by the people of their constituencies.”
Baig refuted rumors spread by some mischievous elements that he was advised by the Prime Minister to support to any candidate for the position of Chief Minister.
Talking about one-on-one meetings of some MLAs with party president Mehbooba Mufti, Baig said: “I have heard that Mehbooba ji has assured MLAs that she would act against the leaders who hurt the sentiments of the MLAs. I also suggest that Mehbooba ji should act against all those whose actions have led to present chaos in the party.”
Expressing his dissatisfaction over the performance of the Mehbooba led government, Baig said: “The government was not working well and I too spoke of its non-performance many a times in party meetings and forums. Legislators should come back, unite and work to restore the image of the party damaged by the poor showing of the government during last two three years as there are three more years to go for the legislators to regain the lost ground in their constituencies.”
Asked about his silence on the fall of PDP-BJP coalition government, Baig said “I don’t react in haste. I always react after serious thinking over the issues and the situations.”
