J&K assembly dissolved after Mehbooba stakes claim to form govt

Live Mint  

New Delhi: In a dramatic turn of events, governor Satya Pal Malik on Wednesday dissolved the Jammu and Kashmir assembly even as an alliance of anti-Bharatiya Janata Party parties led by the People’s Democratic Party staked claim to form the government. The governor’s move capped a day of hectic political developments that began with former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP reaching out to Malik staking claim to form the government with the support of the National Conference and Congress. The day also saw Sajjad Lone, leader of the People’s Conference, staking claim to form the government with the support of BJP legislators. The coming together of arch- rivals NC and PDP, along with the Congress, is a move with national ramifications—it marks an effort not only to change the political equation at the state level, but also to forge an alliance against the BJP in the run-up to the 2019 elections.
