People's Democratic Party (PDP) patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Thursday said that he would be discussing the 'common minimum programme' with Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the proposed PDP-BJP government formation plan in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The common minimum programme is being developed. We will discuss that with the PM and the public will see everything in black and white," he told the media here.
The PDP patron, who will reportedly take oath as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir on March 1, is expected to invite Prime Minister Modi to attend his swearing-in ceremony.
The BJP and PDP had earlier this week announced plans to form a coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir, adding that their union was formulated keeping the peace of the state in mind.
The two parties, who are expected to govern the state on the basis of the common minimum programme, are yet to finalise the modalities of government formation.
The assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir last year threw up a hung verdict, with the PDP emerging as the single-largest party with 28 seats. The BJP won 25 seats, with the National Conference and Congress winning 15 and 12 seats respectively.
