PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday indicated that she is in no hurry to form government in Jammu and Kashmir.
Srinagar/Jammu: A day after Jammu and Kashmir Governor NN Vohra stepped in to end the prevailing deadlock over government formation in Jammu and Kashmir since the demise of former chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on January 7, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday indicated that she is in no hurry to form government in the state.
PDP, with 27 MLAs in the 87-member Assembly and BJP with 25 legislators, ran a coalition government headed by Sayeed for 10 months before his demise on January 7.
The PDP chief had said she will take a call after "reassessing" whether ally BJP's government at the Centre would take substantive steps in a "set time frame" to address the "core" political and economic issues of the state.
