​​New Delhi: Mehbooba Mufti described as "positive" her meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his Race Course Road residence on Tuesday morning to discuss government formation in Jammu and Kashmir.

"When you meet the PM then the ways of sorting out problems become clearer," the People's Democratic Party chief said, making no announcement, but promising "next steps" after meeting her party lawmakers in Srinagar on Thursday.

Sources said the 25-minute meeting put the PDP's alliance with the BJP back on track after weeks of wrangling since the death of Mufti's father and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed in January. The Prime Minister, the sources said, praised Mufti Sayeed as "a visionary," and said, "We must follow the positivity of Mufti Sayeed."

The way for a breakthrough in talks and government formation in Jammu and Kashmir was paved by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley saying on the weekend that the BJP is committed to an "agenda of alliance" agreed upon by the two parties when they joined hands last year to form government in the state under Mufti Sayeed's leadership.
