An incredulous Mehbooba Mufti hails the new J&K 'Mahagathbandhan', questions 'jittery' dissolution of the state assembly

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti have issued a set of tweets regarding the dramatic events of Wednesday, as the state's assembly was dissolved even as competing claims were made to form a government in the state. 

In her tweets, an incredulous Mufti thanked her newfound allies, the JKNC and the Congress and their leaders Omar Abdullah and Ambika Soni respectively. She said that the trio of parties had found common ground over seeking dissolution of the state assembly. She goes on to reference a grand alliance 'Mahagathbandhan' in the state and questions the Jammu and Kashmir Governor, specifically, the fax machine in his office, for allegedly not being able to receive the fax of her letter staking a claim.

Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed dramatic developments on Wednesday.

Almost simultaneously, a parallel claim was sent by Handwara MLA Sajad Lone, who claimed to have the backing of the BJP. However, the J&K Governor dissolved the state assembly leaving fresh elections as the likeliest outcome.
