JAMMU: Dubbing the ruling alliance as a surreptious bondage of opportunist and diametrically opposed forces, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP and former Minister described the hundred day rule of the said coalition as a sordid tale of failures and betrayals. He said that the BJP and PDP combine with their insurmountable contradictions has created socio-political uncertainty in the state with ominous signs for the future of the State.
