#Omar Abdullah congratulates new J&K CM Mufti Mohammad Sayeed
Jammu, Mar 1 (IBNS): As Mufti Mohammad Sayeed took oath as the next Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday at a special ceremony in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi here, National Conference leader Omar Abdullah congratulated the People's Democratic Party (PDP) supremo.
Abdullah, who as not present at the ceremony, tweeted: "Congratulations to Mufti Mohd Syed Sb on assuming the office of CM of J&K. I wish you all the very best for your term as CM."
 
"BJP Ministers swearing allegiance to the same constitution of J&K that Shyama Prasad Mukherjee died trying to get rid of #irony," Abdullah posted.
 
Two months after a fractured mandate stood in the way of a government coming to power, People's Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti and BJP president Amit Shah last Tuesday struck a deal on a Common Minimum Programme towards formation of the government in Jammu and Kashmir.
 
The deal reached between Mebooba Mufti and Amit Shah ended two months of negotiations between the two parties aimed at narrowing differences over various contentious issues, including the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
 
The electorate of Jammu and Kashmir elected a hung Assembly in December last year  with the PDP emerging as the single largest party with 28 seats in the 87-member House. 
 
The BJP emerged as the second largest party with 25 seats followed by the National Conference at 15 and Congress with 12. Smaller parties and independents won seven seats.
