Jammu and Kashmir's wait for a new government is likely to get
over as the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic
are poised to join hands and form a coalition soon.
According to sources PDP founder and former chief minister Mufti
Mohammed Sayeed will be meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a formal
announcement will be made in the next few days.
Sources said PDP veteran Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, who is likely to
be the next Jammu and Kashmir CM, will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the
next three days to finalise a Common Minimum Programme to be shared by
the two allies.
For almost a month, the BJP and the PDP had been working on the
CMP which includes controversial issues like Article 370, the Armed Forces
Special Powers Act and the Uniform Civil Code.
The PDP has 28 and the BJP 25 seats in the state assembly. The
National Conference won 15 seats and its former ally, the Congress 12. Seven
seats went to independents and smaller parties.
