SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said there is no need for a shadow cabinet, as the elected government in Jammu and Kashmir will fulfil the promises made to the people.
Speaking to reporters after meeting Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Hasnain Masoodi to offer condolences, Omar, said that departments have been directed to ensure better facilities for people during Ramadan.
He said that the government is making efforts to ensure an adequate supply of electricity and water, especially during Sehri and Iftari.
When asked about the BJP’s formation of a “shadow cabinet,” he said there is no provision for such a cabinet in the country. “We have only one cabinet. There is no need for a shadow cabinet. The BJP has ruled in the past, and now it is time for an elected government to serve the public. We will work to fulfil all the promises made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
Omar Abdullah visited the residence of Dr Ghulam Sibtain Masoodi in Hyderpora, who passed away this week. Dr Sibtain was the brother of NC leader Hasnain Masoodi and the father-in-law of Mirwaiz Molvi Umar Farooq. (KNO)
