The NC Lok Sabha member from Srinagar said the constituent parties of the Vajpayee Government and those supporting it from outside had been able to secure a lot of benefits for their states, but not the NC.

He said the main demands of Jammu and Kashmir were liberal financial help for rebuilding its damaged infrastructure, reimbursement of security-related expenditure and counter-guarantee for new power projects.

However, Omar said, these continued to be ignored by the Centre. The State had a great potential for hydel power projects and attracting foreign investments for the purpose, but added the Centre was not ready to provide such counter-guarantee.

He said, ``We have pleaded our case before the Centre time and again to no avail. Enough isenough. We have now decided to reconsider our support to the BJP-led coalition government,'' he said.

Omar said his party, which has three members in the Lok Sabha, had extended support to the Vajpayee Government despite protests from different quarters in the State. This was done because a poor State like Jammu and Kashmir could not afford confrontation with the Centre and moreover, it hoped the coalition government would help the State rebuild its infrastructure damaged during eight years of militancy.

The threat of withdrawal of support by the National Conference soon after the Indian National Lok Dal's withdrawal of support and internal squabbling within the BJP might add to the problems of the Vajpayee Government.

He said when the NC decided to support the Vajpayee Government, it was given an assurance that the Centre would liberally provide funds to the State to bring its devastated economy back on the tracks, but this promise was not kept.

``You will find a very different NC in Parliamentduring the Budget session, beginning February 22,'' Omar said.
