Mehbooba Mufti, the Peoples Democratic Party’s chief ministerial candidate for Jammu and Kashmir, has staked claim to form the government along with its ally, the BJP. Mehbooba Mufti will be the state’s first woman chief minister.

The PDP and the BJP met with Jammu and Kashmir Governor, NN Vohra, and discussed the same with him. After the meeting, Mehbooba Mufti said,

I am thankful to the BJP for their unconditional support. We are satisfied with the assurances that were given by the prime minister.

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti and Bharatiya Janata Party senior leader, Nirmal Singh, had sought a meeting with the governor on Saturday and followed through.

BJP’s Nirmal Singh said, “ We have submitted the letter to the governor where BJP legislators have unanimously supported the PDP in government formation”.
