January 12, 2016 16:55

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti will take oath as the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister anytime after the end of the seven-day official mourning for her late father Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Wednesday, party spokesman Mehboob Beg said on Tuesday.

Beg also said that neither it nor its alliance partner -- BJP -- had set any preconditions for the formation of the new government in the State.

"Without any preconditions from either side, Mehbooba ji will take oath as the Chief Minister anytime after the seven-day official mourning ends tomorrow,' he said.

"The terms of alliance already worked out will continue to govern the relationship between the two parties in the next government," Beg asserted.
