Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence over the formation of the new government in Jammu and Kashmir in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Mufti's decision to meet Modi has fuelled hopes in Jammu and Kashmir that channels of communication with the BJP have been opened once again.
The government formation in Jammu and Kashmir has been deadlocked since then chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's death in a Delhi hospital on January 7.
