Union Minister Najma Heptulla today congratulated Mehbooba Mufti on becoming the first woman chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir and hoped the PDP chief will carry forward the "great legacy" of her father Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
"Congratulations to Mehbooba Mufti for becoming the First Woman Chief Minister of J&K. I wish her all the very best.
"I am sure she will carry forward the great legacy of Mufti Saheb," Heptulla tweeted.
Jammu and Kashmir got its first woman chief minister today in the PDP president who was sworn-in here along with 22 ministers, with an increased strength for BJP in the Cabinet.
BJP's Nirmal Singh will be her deputy in the new coalition, formed three months after the state was put under Governor's Rule following the demise of Mehbooba's father.
