'Demand for new government'

Whoever forms the government, my request, especially to india Alliance, PDP, People's Conference and my party, is that they should agree on one issue that no new government should be formed until full statehood is granted. Even if any one alliance gets the majority, they should focus on one point and ask the central government to grant full statehood. This is the demand of the people.''
