Governor's rule inevitable in J&K
Srinagar, June 19 : After the fall of the BJP-PDP coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir, the imposition of Governor's rule became inevitable in the state Tuesday.
Shortly after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pulled out of the coalition government, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti rushed to the Raj Bhavan here and submitted her resignation to Governor N.N. Vohra.
Senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad told reporters that the BJP, by pulling out of the coalition, was trying to put all the blame for corruption on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Asked if the Congress would support the PDP to form a new government, Azad said: "The question does not arise."
Meanwhile, former Chief minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah met the Governor at the Raj Bhavan on Tuesday. According to party sources, Abdullah has ruled out any possible support to the PDP.
In the 87-member Assembly, elections for which were held in 2014, the PDP had 28, the National Conference 15, BJP 25, Congress 12, Peoples Conference 2, CPI-M 1, Peoples Democratic Front 1 and Independents 3 seats.

Telangana to name roads after Ratan Tata, Donald Trump
Hyderabad (PTI): The Telangana government on Sunday said it has decided to name the upcoming greenfield radial road at the proposed RRR in honour of the late industrialist Ratan Tata.
In another proposal, a high-profile road along the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad will be named ‘Donald Trump Avenue’, the government said in a release.
The state government will write to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy to inform them of the plans.
Earlier this year, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, while addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) conclave in Delhi, had proposed naming key roads in Hyderabad after leading global corporations.
Additionally, a prominent stretch will be named ‘Google Street’ to recognise the global impact and contribution of Google and Google Maps.
The road along Google’s upcoming campus, set to be the company’s largest outside the US, in Hyderabad’s Financial District, will receive this recognition, the release said.
The proposals are part of the Telangana government’s initiative to position the state as a hub for innovation-driven development.
Microsoft and Wipro are also expected to receive recognition in the city’s topography, with a Wipro Junction and a Microsoft Road, in line with the chief minister’s vision, the release added.
The state government is considering dedicating additional roads in honour of distinguished individuals and corporations.
