Jitendra Singh says meeting with J&K Governor 'personal'

Union Minister of State for Personnel and Training Dr Jitendra Singh on Tuesday said his meeting with Jammu and Kashmir Governor NN Vohra here was 'purely personal'.

"This is purely a personal meeting. I had come here to extend my invitation for a wedding in family," Singh said.

The meeting assumed significance as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the People's Democratic Party continue to scramble to come up with a mutually satisfactory alliance in Jammu and Kashmir

The BJP had earlier this week said there are a number of issues that needed to be resolved before the two parties agree to form a coalition government in the state.

A fractured verdict in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections last year left no party with a clear majority. The highest number of seats was won by the PDP, but with 28 seats, the party fell well short of the 44 seats required to form a majority government. (ANI)
