The process of government formation in Jammu and Kashmir gathered momentum on Saturday with the Peoples' Democratic Party president Mufti Mohammad Sayeed meeting Congress chief Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi and discussing the nitty-gritty of sewing up a coalition.
"We exchanged ideas on the formation of a government. We held detailed discussions," Sayeed told reporters after emerging from the 45-minute meeting at Gandhi's residence.
He said the Congress and the PDP were the major parties and they discussed how to bring other parties together for formation of the government.
Before reporters could ask him whether the issue of chief ministership had been sorted out with Gandhi, Sayeed avoided a reply and got into his car in the midst of a heavy downpour.
Sayeed said the people of the state had 'great expectations' as they had voted against the National Conference because of its 'misrule'.
