Srinagar: It seems the PDP and its leadership were taken unawares by the sudden decision of their alliance partner — the BJP — to withdraw support.
Experts see in the BJP’s decision an attempt to charm its constituency as the party was being openly accused of surrendering for power lust the interests of Jammu where from it won almost all the 25 seats in the 2014 Assembly election.
Local experts say Ms. Mufti may have pioneered PDP’s stunning emergence on Kashmir’s political scene at a time when the ground was bristling with the aftereffects of insurgency and surprised everybody with her grit and endurance rebuilding genuine bridges with people is not an easy task ahead of her.
