Srinagar: Omar Abdullah has officially taken oath as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, ushering in a new political chapter for the region. However, the Congress party, a crucial partner in previous coalition governments, has opted to stay out of this new administration, adding intrigue to the evolving political scenario.
In his inaugural speech, Abdullah expressed hope that Jammu and Kashmir’s Union Territory status would be short-lived, signaling his ambition to restore the region’s statehood. The Congress’ decision to remain on the sidelines raises questions about the future of political alliances and governance in J&K, especially given its historical partnership with Abdullah’s National Conference (NC).
This pivotal moment comes as debates around Jammu and Kashmir’s political status and autonomy continue to shape the region’s future.
