Cong greedy for power, playing with country's security, says Shah

UNION Home Minister and BJP's principal strategist Amit Shah on Friday accused the Congress of repeatedly "risking the country's unity and security" in its greed for power by forging an alliance with the National Conference for the J&K assembly polls.

The 90-member assembly of the Union Territory is going to the polls in three phases on September 18 and 25 and October 1. The counting of votes is scheduled for October 4.

"The Congress, which has repeatedly risked the nation's unity and security to satiate its greed for power, has again exposed its ulterior motives by allying with the Abdullah family's National Conference," Shah alleged while reacting to the poll alliance between the two parties.

Raising 10 questions on the alliance, Shah asked Congress whether it wanted to support the National Conference's promise of a separate flag for Jammu and Kashmir.
