The chief minister’s plan to expand his council of ministers could reshape the political balance in Jammu and Kashmir, affecting governance and policy direction.
J&K CM Omar Abdullah advised them against knocking on his doors or that of his father and National Conference president, Dr Farooq Abdullah, to lobby for ministerial positions. After meeting Sinha, Omar told reporters he sought an appointment with him for next week so that he can make changes and expand his council of ministers.
Omar Abdullah is the chief minister of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, and a cabinet expansion involves appointing new ministers to oversee various departments, a process that often attracts lobbying from political hopefuls.
