In an interview with Greater Kashmir, Sofi Yousuf has also named the members, claiming that they are the ones who would be nominated. Asked whether it is official, he said, "thappa lag giya (it has been sealed)".
The candidates, he claimed, were BJP state secretary Ashok Koul, former BJP women's wing state president Rajni Sethi, state secretary Dr Fareeda Khan and party spokesperson Sunil Sethi. "The fifth one is a refugee, the president of our Mahila Morcha. All of them are ours," Sofi Yusuf told Greater Kashmir in a video interview.
The BJP, he added, will form government on its own. "We don't need the National Conference, PDP (Mehbooba Mufti's Peoples Democratic Party) or the Congress. The BJP will form government on its own steam," he added.
