Jammu & Kashmir Latest NewsOmar Abdullah has a difficult road ahead with terrorism as well as growing regional and urban-rural divide in Jammu and Kashmir.
Jammu and Kashmir has got a new, strange post-poll alliance — that of the candidates who lost in the assembly elections.
The PDP said it was ready to play the role of a 'constructive opposition' as it did not have the numbers in the assembly to form a coalition.
Omar Abdullah's nine-year old son Zahir, who accompanied his father on the victory lap in Ganderbal and instantly hit it off with the people, is enjoying a new found celebrity status.
As the 11th Assembly elections returned a fractured verdict, 35 out of the 43 political parties that were in fray failed to win a single seat.
The PDP ndicated that it would like to revive its alliance with the Congress but said it is up to them to decide.
Virtually endorsing Omar for the Chief Ministership, Farooq Abdullah said his son could better serve the people of J-K.
A meeting of top Congress leaders has been convened to deliberate on the outcome of the elections.
Farooq Abdullah virtually thanked the militant organisations and Pakistan for the peaceful assembly elections which saw an impressive voter turnout.
The BJP admitted that the Amarnath land row has paid it rich dividends in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections.
Mian Altaf Ahmad, veteran Gujjar leader of NC retained Kangan constituency for the fourth time in a row when he defeated his nearest PDP rival Bashir Ahmad Mir.
The Jammu and Kashmir elections involved every section of society in the state, and the same inclusiveness was reflected in the verdict today. For the first time, the entire ideological and political spectrum will be represented in sizeable numbers in the 87-member House.
