SRINAGAR — Former Chief Minister of erstwhile State of J&K, Mehbooba Mufti was on Monday re-elected as President of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for another period of three years.
In a tweet, J&K PDP said, “Ms @MehboobaMufti unanimously re-elected as @jkpdp president for a period of three years.”
It added, “Her name was proposed by senior leaders Mr G N L Hanjura and seconded by Mr Khurshid Alam. Senior leader Mr A R Veeri was the chairman of party election board.”
Earlier, PDP President Mehbooba Mufti alleged the delimitation of Assembly constituencies in Jammu & Kashmir is a part of the BJP’s “larger plan to divide and pit” regions, religions and communities against each other.
Taking to Twitter, Mehbooba on Sunday said, “The tearing hurry with which GOI (the Government of India) is railroading delimitation in J&K has raised genuine & serious apprehensions about the motives of this exercise.”
Mehbooba Mufti served as the last Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir as a State, from 4 April, 2016 to 19 June, 2018.
Mufti was the first woman to hold the office of Chief Minister in the erstwhile State.
She formed a coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir jointly with the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) and later resigned in June 2018 after the BJP withdrew from the coalition.
