PDP President Mehbooba Mufti yesterday met BJP President Amit Shah amid rising speculation about the government formation in Jammu and Kashmir. Both parties maintained silence on the meeting but sources said, it was part of the intense efforts being undertaken by the two parties before resuming the coalition.
The sources said, consultations with some of the ministries have been undertaken and the state may soon witness the end of Governor’s rule.
The Governor’s rule came into force on January 8th this year after Mehbooba decided against taking over the reins following her father Mufti Mohammed Sayeed’s death.
PDP, which toughened its stance after Mufti Mohammed Sayeed’s demise by seeking concrete plans for the state’s development the before the coalition could be resumed, may latch on to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s statement in the Lok Sabha in which he promised speedy implementation of all the projects.
