J&K: PDP-BJP to meet Guv today
According to reports, PDP's Mehbooba Mufti might become the first woman chief minister of J&K.
The move will end an over two-month-long deadlock in the state.
After Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed passed away in New Delhi, the state was placed under Governor's Rule.
On Thursday, People's Democratic Party (PDP) unanimously elected Mehbooba Mufti as chief ministerial candidate, ending a prolonged impasse in Jammu and Kashmir.
BJP and PDP had joined hands last year after no party got a majority in state elections. The PDP is the largest party with 28 seats - now 27 following Sayeed’s death - in the 87-member house. The BJP is second with 25 seats.
