Kashmir: BJP pulls out of alliance with PDP
New Delhi, Jun 19 (IBNS): The BJP has withdrawn from its alliance with the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Jammu and Kashmir, said media reports.
BJP's Kashmir In-charge Ram Madhav told media that "it has become untenable for the BJP to continue with PDP."
NDTV quoting sources said Mehbooba Mufti has resigned as the chief minister of the state which might now come under President's Rule.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Amit Shah earlier summoned BJP ministers from the state of Jammu and Kashmir to discuss the end of Ramzan ceasefire, that upset the saffron outfit's ally PDP, according to media reports.
The rift between the two parties- which run the Jammu and Kashmir government- became prominent once again after the Centre decided to resume the anti-terror operations.
The PDP still maintains that the central government must reach out to the separatists to resolve the crisis in the valley.
