India's ruling Hindu party to share power in Kashmir

Jammu, India

INDIA'S ruling Hindu nationalist party was on Sunday sworn into government in the country's only Muslim-majority state for the first time after a historic power-sharing deal with a bitter regional rival.

Narendra Modi hailed the partnership between his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the People's Democratic Party (PDP) as a chance to fulfil the aspirations of a region which has endured a sporadic revolt against Indian rule since 1989.
