TIA NEWS /
The uncertainty over govt formation continues in Jammu & Kashmir, even three weeks after demise of former Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on January 07.
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti today told her party’s core group that she was not averse to forming the government in Jammu and Kashmir but this cannot happen unless she has assurances from the ally BJP that her late father’s vision would be fulfilled.
Presiding over the meeting of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders, Mehbooba Mufti, according to party sources, said she needed concrete assurances from the coalition partner Bharatiya Janata Party that the vision of late chief minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed about equitable development and peace in the state would be fulfilled.
According to him, Mehbooba Mufti said that she cannot decide to claim power in the state simply because that would make her the chief minister.
From Sunday’s closed-door PDP deliberations, it has become clear that the impasse over the government formation in the state will continue.
BJP is awaiting PDP’s nod to go ahead with govt formation.
The State is under Governor’s Rule from 08th of January after Mufti Mohammad Sayeed passed away on January 7 in New Delhi after a brief illness, and Mehbooba Mufti did not step forward to stake claim to form the government.
