Exuding confidence that the UPA will win tomorrow's trust vote, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti today said senior BJP leader L K Advani got the hint in this regard when he said that the opposition was not to destabilise the Government but to defeat it.
"We are very hopeful...Advani has got the hint that the Government is going to survive. This is evident when he said that NDA is not to destablise the Government but to defeat it," Mehbooba, PDP's lone Lok Sabha MP, said here.
She said the UPA leadership was "very confident" about the victory in the trust vote.
Asked whether there were any contradiction in supporting the Congress at the Centre and opposing it in Jammu and Kashmir, she said the situation was "entirely different".
She claimed that former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad's deviation from the Common Minimum Programme and healing touch policy forced her party to take the extreme step of withdrawing support to the state government.
