PDP boss Mehbooba Mufti is being pressured by her party's old guard that in case she takes over as chief minister, the post of PDP president should be given to a party leader from outside the family. This may or mayn't be to the liking of Mehbooba who is set to become the first woman chief minister of J&K.
Further, two years since she entered the Lok Sabha from Anantnag constituency, PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti has not taken a government house in Lutyens' Delhi. While some say she did this only because she was eyeing the house allotted to former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who is no longer entitled to retain the bungalow, others say this was clear indication that she was all this while focused on eventually shifting to state politics.
