Omar Abdullah is set to take oath as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir today (File photo) Srinagar: Ahead of his oath-taking ceremony as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah said on Wednesday that he “look forward” to working in cooperation with government of India but being the CM of a Union Territory has its own challenges. While talking to the news agency ANI, he reiterated on statehood status of Jammu and Kashmir. “I have some strange distinctions. I was the last chief minister to serve a full six-year term. Now I’ll be the first chief minister of the Union territory of J&K. The last distinction, as in the one of serving six years, I’m quite happy about. Being a chief minister of a Union Territory is a different matter altogether. It has its own challenges. I hope that the status of a union territory is a temporary one.

Haryana and J&K: Modi Pass, Rahul Fail – India TV

Published by Webster

Image Source : INDIA TV India TV Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma The voters of Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir have given historic verdicts. They have given clear mandates, but the results have surprised everybody. Neither the BJP, nor the Congress, nor psephologists had any inkling of the results that were going to come in from Haryana. One point is now clear. Narendra Modi is BJP’s biggest strength. He fights elections with fervour and toils hard. The historic hat-trick in Haryana will fire up Modi to prepare his strategies for Jharkhand and Maharashtra elections. It will instill new confidence and energy among BJP workers in both the states. BJP’s bargaining power in Maharashtra’s Mahayuti alliance will increase.    The biggest message from Haryana verdict is that the narrative created by Congress and other opposition parties about caste reservation, by creating a sense of fear in the minds of Dalits, has now been nullified. In the coming weeks, one may  find Modi trying to fix other problems, one by one. He has already reconfigured the pension scheme …

Despite hype, Engineer Rashid, Jamaat fail to make an impact in J&K | India News

Published by Parlour News

The banned Jamaat-e-Islami and Engineer Rashid’s Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) – “strategic allies” who were expected to alter the poll dynamics in the Valley – failed to make an impact in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly elections. Their only success was in north Kashmir’s Langate, where Rashid’s brother Sheikh Khurshid won by a narrow margin of 1,602 votes against Irfan Panditpuri of the People’s Conference. Rashid has twice in the past won Langate, in 2008 and 2014, as an Independent candidate. Of the 36 AIP candidates, 31 forfeited their deposit, with nine of them securing less than 1,000 votes. The AIP’s show is particularly dismal as it came barely four months after Rashid, while in jail, managed a spectacular win in the Lok Sabha elections from Baramulla – he had defeated NC leader and former chief minister Omar Abdullah and People’s Conference chief Sajad Lone. Rashid had then secured a lead in 15 of the 18 assembly segments that fall in the Baramulla Lok Sabha seat. However, throughout his campaign in the Assembly elections, Rashid …
