Deadlock to get over? BJP likely to form Govt with PDP support in J&K

Jammu, Jan 28: Political stalemate may get over in Jammu and Kashmir soon. Reportedly, by the end of this month, BJP will form Government in the State. It is being believed that both BJP and PDP have reached to consensus on a number of issues, paving a path to give a stable Government in the J&K.

The team will be headed by party leader and general secretary Ram Madhav.

Earlier, former chief minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed whose party, PDP, got most number of seats in recent election confirmed that party is in touch with BJP.

"Track two talks with the BJP over government formation are in progress. We may differ in our vision and priorities but an attempt is being made to find a common ground to evolve consensus on all issues to carry forward the peace process and political and economic agenda", PDP patron Sayeed had said.
