BJP-PDP Break Up LIVE: Governor Vohra Writes to President Kovind for Imposition of Guv's Rule in J&K

Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti has tendered her resignation to the Governor hours after BJP decided to pull out of the PDP-led coalition government in a sudden announcement. Meanwhile, both the Congress and National Conference have cleared the air that they wouldn’t extend support to Mehbooba Mufti’s PDP to form government in the state or stake claim in any alliance. NC’s Omar Abdullah met Governor NN Vohra and said, “Both BJP and PDP are responsible for the situation. I am not extending support to any party. The people should be allowed to decide for themselves.” Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said, “I had cautioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi that a BJP-PDP alliance will be a Himalayan blunder. We are happy that the Centre has accepted its mistake.” The BJP’s decision comes within days of the Centre announcing not to extend the Ramzan ceasefire in the Valley. “It has become untenable for the BJP to continue the alliance with PDP. Keeping in mind that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and in order to control the prevailing situation in the state, we have decided that the reins of power in the state be handed over to the governor,” BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir in-charge Ram Madhav said.
