While addressing media persons in capital Srinagar, Mehbooba said "that power was not the main agenda for her party in the upcoming polls."

"Parliamentary elections for PDP, is not about making alliances to be in power. We are not interested into who is going to form the government there, but we have a definite agenda which we will follow, that is, to bridge the trans deficit, to use the parliament forum as well as the forum outside for the resolution of Kashmir," said Sayeed.

Peoples Democratic Party has been blaming the government led by Omar Abdullah's National Conference (NC) party for failing to resolve the problems in the state and increasing tensions in the region.

PDP has accused NC of just pleasing their ally, the ruling Congress at the Centre.
