Srinagar, Apr 23 : Former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti Tuesday exuded confidence that people will once again vote her to ensure her victory.

After casting ballots in Bijbehara area of South Kashmir’s Anantnag district, Mehbooba said that “this time my father Late Mufti Muhammad Sayeed is not with me but his workers who have worked for him are still there.”

“I hope the workers of my father will ensure my victory in this election,” Mehbooba told reporters.
