Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, the patron of BJP ally People's Democratic Party, landed in Delhi this evening for his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mr Sayeed, who is taking oath on Sunday as the next chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, will meet PM Modi at 9.30 am tomorrow. The veteran PDP leader is expected to formally invite the Prime Minister for the oath ceremony.
The two leaders are also expected to finalise the modalities of government formation. The BJP is expected to get the deputy chief minister's post.
"We will discuss the Common Minimum Programme tomorrow," Mr Sayeed told reporters in Delhi. But he refused to discuss the issues, saying people would see the results.
The two parties, ideological opposites, are expected to govern the state on the basis of a common minimum programme. They spent the last two months in attempts to bridge the political and ideological differences.
The two parties have agreed to maintain the state's constitutional status - a key demand of Mr Mufti. On the Armed Forces' Special Powers' Act or AFPSA, which gives the army the authority to make arrests without warrants, the two parties have agreed to the gradual replacement of the military with the local police and paramilitary forces in areas where the security situation has improved, sources said.
