Will stake claim to form govt in J&K with support from Congress, NC: Mehbooba Mufti

Hindustan Times  

A grand alliance is shaping up in Jammu and Kashmir where arch rivals Peoples Democratic Party and National Conference are set to team up with the Congress to stake claim to form the government. Very soon you will get a good news.’’ Another senior PDP leader said, “In the new alliance chief minister will be from the PDP -- Mehbooba Mufti or any other person of her choice.’’ The PDP has 28 MLAs, NC 15 and Congress 12, which places them comfortably above the majority mark of 44. It’s good, if both NC and the PDP leaders are now discussing this.’’ The move comes amid reports of BJP ally Sajjad Lone, chairman of the Peoples Conference, trying to cobble up a third front with the help of the BJP and the PDP dissidents and form a government. On Tuesday, PDP founding member and Lok Sabha MP from Baramulla, Muzuffar Hussain Beigh dropped hints of favouring a third front and said Lone was like his ‘son’ and People’s Conference like his ‘home’. The state came under Governor’s rule in June, for the eighth time, after the BJP withdrew support to the PDP and chief minister Mehbooba Mufti resigned.
