Mehbooba seeks mandate for taking J&K out of morass

SRINAGAR: Seeking entry into the Assembly as a member from Anantnag, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today urged voters to give her a strong and decisive mandate so that she can continue efforts to take the State out from the morass of political and economic uncertainties.

Addressing a series of election meetings in Anantnag which will go to polls on June 22, she invoked her late father and former Chief Minister Mufti Sayeed who was a member from this constituency when he passed away in January and said she was seeking the mandate to carry forward his mission of development and progress.

She insisted that her party PDP is the only dependable party “If you want a change of direction, not just a change of Government; if you want new priorities, not just politics.”

Mehbooba, who is heading a PDP-BJP coalition Government since April, said the next five years are crucial for not only ensuring good governance but accomplishing the challenging task of rebuilding safe, sustainable and planned infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir.

She is currently a member of Parliament from Anantnag Lok Sabha constituency. (AGENCIES)
