Guv invites PDP, BJP over govt formation
Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra on Monday asked the PDP and the BJP to meet him on Tuesday regarding government formation but the two appeared to be drifting apart. Political sources in Srinagar said that after being delayed by three weeks, government formation was looking increasingly a remote possibility.
Jammu/Srinagar/New Delhi : Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra on Monday asked the PDP and the BJP to meet him on Tuesday regarding government formation but the two appeared to be drifting apart. Political sources in Srinagar said that after being delayed by three weeks, government formation was looking increasingly a remote possibility.
In Srinagar, PDP legislators met and asked their president Mehbooba Mufti to meet Vohra in the winter capital Jammu on Tuesday. "The MLAs authorized Mehbooba Mufti to convey the legislature party's views to the governor," senior Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader and former minister Naeem Akhtar told reporters.
The legislators did not elect Mehbooba Mufti, an MP, leader of the legislature party in the 87-member state Assembly. Party leaders said the matter was not even discussed. The state came under Governor's Rule on January 8, a day after Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed -- Mehbooba's father -- died. He had headed an alliance of his PDP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
