Jammu and Kashmir cabinet: no word yet on new council of ministers

Live Mint  

Srinagar: As PDP president Mehbooba Mufti prepares to take charge tomorrow as the first woman chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, there is no word yet on who all made it to the council of ministers. Sources in the PDP said Mehbooba is likely to hold a meeting of senior party leaders later this evening for finalising her team of ministers. Some senior party leaders who were ministers in the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed government may be given important party posts,” the sources said. Senior party leaders and Lok Sabha MPs Muzaffar Hussain Baig and Tariq Hamid Karra might be considered for senior positions in the party structure as accommodating them in the council of ministers would mean the PDP facing by-elections to more than one Lok Sabha seat—a situation that the party wants to avoid in immediate future.
