We have the support of all independent legislators as they know that the people have given a mandate against the Bharatiya Janata Party. And other parties like the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Communist Party of India-Marxist are also ready to support us as they also want stability in the state 
False and baseless propaganda by the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and the boycott call by separatists in Jammu and Kashmir is negative politics. People have strongly rejected it in both the cases
