Apropos the report, "Mehbooba Mufti meets governor, wants CBMs from Centre" (February 3), the Peoples Democratic Party chief must go ahead with forming a new government in Jammu and Kashmir in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Why are there so many ifs and buts on her side? Why is she keeping her cards so close to her chest? Her continued indecisiveness may cost her dearly as well as the state and even the entire country.
Mufti should rest her fears about the observance of confidence building measures by the BJP because status quo on the earlier agreed agenda has so far been maintained between the two parties.
Further, the BJP leadership has never had questions about her taking over as chief minister. What is the hitch then?
A key component of any alliance is trust. Mufti should either urgently join the alliance or scrap it. Let this political drama end. No more dithering please.
