NEW DELHI - The Congress-led Jammu and Kashmir government today fell after Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad failed to seek a trust vote on the floor of the state assembly, television channel CNN-IBN reported.
The crisis was precipitated after Mufti Mohammad Sayeed-led People's Democratic Party, an ally of the Congress government in the state, pulled support on the Amarnath shrine land controversy.
The chief minister is expected to resign soon, the channel said.
The six-year term of the assembly was to end in November even though Azad had hinted the government may seek elections in September.
