BJP media incharge in the Valley, Altaf Thakur said Madav said that the BJP- PDP coalition government has strong understanding in the state and both the parties have the same motive to usher new phase of development in the State.

"We are ruling the state, but our workers have to work hard to strengthen the party," Madhav said, adding, the party is carrying forward its mission on the basis of experience and enthusiastic cadre.
