'BJP Ministers must imitate Mehbooba, vacate official residences' 1/29/2016 12:01:02 AM Early Times Report jammu, Jan 28: The family of late Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Wednesday vacated the Chief Minister's residence at Wazarat Road, Jammu, further confounding the confusion over Government formation in the State. It was a significant development that only indicated that Jammu and Kashmir would remain under the Governor's rule for some more time. The State may even witness mid-term polls. The Muftis vacated the residence the day former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah opined that "the PDP was scared of elections" and that "the NC would secure majority in the State if fresh elections are held". "The PDP is 'terrified' of fresh elections in J&K 'due to its political U-turns' and a 10-month 'tenure of failures and abject mis-governance'. The PDP is so terrified of being routed completely once for all that it is neither willing to provide a Government with its alliance partner nor ready to go for fresh elections. If you are so scared of forming a Government with BJP which continues to be your alliance partner, let us go to the people for a fresh mandate. However, PDP knows it would be completely decimated and that National Conference would emerge as a single-majority force in fresh elections and hence PDP wants the State to hang midair in political uncertainty," Omar said. The National Conference would not only emerge victorious in new elections but also form the Government on its own," Omar said while addressing party workers in his Beerwah constituency in the Kashmir's Budgam district. The vacation of the Chief Minister's official residence in Jammu must have alarmed and disturbed the former BJP Ministers, who continue to enjoy comforts in the palatial official residences. They had not expected the members of the Mufti Sayeed's family to vacate the official residence of the Chief Minister in Jammu, as they, including the desperate former Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh, had been giving their confidants to understand that "the PDP-BJP coalition Government would be in place very soon" and that "they were sure to find berths in the new Council of Ministers". The decision of the Muftis to vacate the Chief Minister's residence has come as a shock to them. They have to follow the example set by Mehbooba Mufti or the family of Mufti Sayeed, which could have stayed in this residence for some more days, as they were entitled to retain it for a month after the demise of Mufti at the AIIMS, New Delhi. According to a report, Begum Gulshan, wife of late Mufti Sayeed and mother of Mehbooba Mufti, visited the Chief Minister's residence at Wazarat Road, and took family belongings back to Kashmir. "Begum Sahiba came quietly and picked up her belongings and the belongings of late Mufti Sahab," the report said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
