Slamming a few political families in the state, the Prime Minister said: "A small section of families has found the way to blackmail the people of Jammu and Kashmir. When Mufti Mohammed Saeed Saheb was there, we were hopeful.
"But that was our mahamilawat. It was the mixture of oil and water and we did the alliance by saying that we are two poles and we would not be able to mix," he said, referring to the PDP-BJP alliance that has since cracked.
He said there was no other option in Jammu and Kashmir then given the kind of the mandate political parties got in Assembly elections. "And when it mattered for the democracy, we came out of the alliance."
Modi said a small section of families in Kashmir speak one thing in the state and another in Delhi. "We need to expose their double standards.
"I am doing this to expose them. And I am asking them to say the same thing in Delhi that they say in Kashmir."
