Jammu & Kashmir: The PDP and BJP are close to an agreement to govern Jammu and Kashmir in coalition with PDP leader Mufti Mohammad Sayeed as chief minister, PDP sources said on Sunday.

The deadlock over government formation in the state may end soon, with both PDP and BJP insiders saying the two parties were close to striking an agreement.


A PDP source said that the two parties were close to giving the country's only Muslim-majority state a government after assembly elections produced a hung 87-member house.

Former chief minister Sayeed would be the chief minister of the coalition government, according to the party source.

"Yes, the two parties are close to reaching a final understanding," the source said.

"As per the terms of the arrangement that are in the final stage, Mufti sahib would be the chief minister. The state would have a BJP deputy chief minister with six PDP and eight BJP ministers," the source added.
