An uphill task ahead to keep PDP flag flying: Mehbooba Mufti after NC-INC alliance victory in J&K election
Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti faces an uphill task to keep the PDP flag flying. The PDP, which formed a government in the erstwhile state 2014 in alliance with the BJP, won just 3 seats of the total 84 it contested in the assembly elections.

Mehbooba, who was chief minister from 2016 to 2018, did not contest this time. Her daughter Iltija Mufti lost from the Srigufwara-Bijbehara seat in her first assembly polls.
Mehbooba was apparently hoping that her PDP wins enough seats to stay relevant in regional politics.
An indication of the low expectations of the party was expressed by Iltija before the elections when she said «PDP will be the kingmaker» as the elections will throw up a hung assembly.
A law graduate, 65-year-old Mehbooba took the plunge into mainstream politics of the state in 1996 by joining Congress, along with her father Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, at a time when militancy was at its peak.
