INDIA bloc ally Congress yet to get call from NC on joining Omar government
New Indian ExpressSRINAGAR: The Congress, which was a pre-poll ally of the ruling National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir and did not join the government when Omar Abdullah took over as first chief minister of Union Territory on October 16 -- has yet not received a call from the ruling party on joining the government. This is even though the Omar government is set to fill one or all three vacant cabinet berths before the budget session of the J&K Assembly, likely to be held in February 2025. Talking to this newspaper, J&K Congress chief Tariq Hamid Karra said nothing is known about government expansion. Sources in Congress said that the party would be more willing to join the Omar government when the cabinet expansion takes place and if Congress is invited to join the government.
