Omar Abdullah to Stake Claim as J&K CM-Designate, Meeting with LG Manoj Sinha
Scheduled for 7:45 PM Today
Kashmir :In a significant political development, Omar Abdullah, the CM-designate of Jammu & Kashmir, is expected to meet Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today at 7:45 PM. The meeting is likely to focus on staking his claim to form the next government in the Union Territory.
Omar Abdullah, a former Chief Minister and vice-president of the National Conference (NC), is expected to formally present his party’s majority support in the J&K Assembly. The return of a democratically elected government in Jammu & Kashmir could mark a historic moment for the region, which has been under Lieutenant Governor’s rule since 2019.
This move comes at a time when political momentum has been building in the Union Territory, following increased calls for Assembly elections after the abrogation of Article 370. Abdullah’s NC has been actively involved in the political discourse, pushing for greater autonomy and development in the region.
Further updates will follow as the meeting takes place later in the evening.
