Days after the demise of Jammu and Kashmir CM Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, it seems that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alliance has come under a serious strain.
On one hand PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti has put some conditions in front of BJP, while the latter, in a tough move, has put some counter terms.
As per a ‘Times of India’ report, BJP has asked the PDP chief to agree on appointing a ‘rotational chief minister ship’ for Jammu and Kashmir, which has been rejected by Mehbooba.
While Mufti’s daughter had already made it clear that none of the conditions of BJP will be accepted to maintain the alliance in the Valley.
Earlier Mehbooba rejected BJP’s demand for the deputy chief minister’s post in Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, speculations are ripe that Congress is offering an olive branch to Mehbooba Mufti ahead of the oath taking ceremony of the PDP chief as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir.
Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Union minister Nitin Gadkari, earlier today, met Mehbooba Mufti at her residence in Srinagar and condoled the death of her father and J&K chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
