New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra
Modi and Peoples Democratic Party
patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed met
here on Friday and sealed the
alliance between the Bharatiya
Janata Party and the PDP to form a
coalition government in Jammu and
Kashmir.
The meeting was held at 7 Race
Course, the official residence of the
prime minister.
According to highly-placed sources,
Sayeed will be heading a 25-member
cabinet which will have 12 BJP MLAs
including a Deputy Chief Minister
post. This is the first time that BJP
is in the government in the state.
Briefing the media after the
meeting, Sayeed said, “I had a
fruitful meeting with PM Modi and
discussed many issues.”
“Both BJP and PDP have reached a
common ground and have developed
consensus on a common minimum
program (CMP),” Sayeed said.
“BJP and PDP got majority in Jammu
and Kashmir areas respectively. Then
we thought we should respect
people's mandate and contemplated
on giving a stable government to the
electorate,” the PDP patron said.
Mufti maintained that both the BJP
and PDP had held hectic parleys over
the past two months and arrived at
consensus over the CMP.
He termed the BJP-PDP alliance as
coming together of 'North Pole and
South Pole'.
Sayeed refused to comment on the
Cabinet berth sharing in the
government saying everybody will
get to know on the swearing-in
ceremony day, which is scheduled
for March 01 (Sunday).
“PM Modi will attend the oath-
taking ceremony,” Sayeed confirmed.
Sayeed asserted the historic
coalition is a political alliance first,
and then an alliance for governance.

next year, the Economic Survey said
.
Tabled in Parliament on Friday by
finance minister Arun Jaitley and
authored by a team led by chief

on the state of the economy said the
growth should now rise further and
double digit expansion was a
possibility.
On inflation, the survey said, there
has been a fall of over 6 percentage

was returning to a path of strength
and resilience. Industrial growth has
also picked up now.

singer.
"He told us that while he was
walking inside the jail compound, a
known history sheeter suddenly
jumped before him, brandishing a
very sharp knife... He (Sreesanth)

attacker injured his hand and was
taken away by the jail staff," said

not intend to turn this into any
controversy nor are they planning to
take this forward.
