Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday sent her resignation to Governor NN Vohra after the BJP announced it was leaving an alliance with her People's Democratic Party.

The BJP's decision to end the coalition leaves Mufti with just 28 out of Jammu and Kashmir's 87 elected seats.

The PDP will hold a meeting at 4 pm, and a press conference an hour later.

Ram Madhav, the BJP national secretary in-charge of Jammu and Kashmir, said this party took a decision in the national interest.
