J-K impasse, Mehbooba in Delhi, likely to meet PM tomorrow

 

NEW DELHI: As the deadlock over Government formation in Jammu and Kashmir continued, PDP President Mehbooba Mufti came to Delhi today and is likely to have a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow after efforts to revive the coaliton with the BJP hit a roadblock last week.

Mehbooba’s second visit to the national capital in five days after her talks with BJP President Amit Shah on Thursday failed to make any headway triggered speculation that the two parties could be making renewed efforts to reach out to each other in a bid to break the prolonged impasse.

The visit comes a day after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said, “we stand fully committed as far as agenda of governance is concerned” in J&K.

On her arrival, Mehbooba, after some personal work, remained closeted in her room at the Jammu and Kashmir House in Chanakyapuri and sources in the know said that a meeting with the Prime Minister was likely to be happen tomorrow. (AGENCIES)
