Congress high command to take call on party joining Omar Abdullah government in J&K

SRINAGAR: With uncertainty looming large on Congress’s alliance with ruling National Conference in Jammu Kashmir, the party high command would take a call on the party joining the Omar Abdullah-led government. At present, J&K has six cabinet ministers including Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. Three cabinet berths are lying vacant in the Omar government and there are expectations that before the Budget session, the CM may go for expansion of the cabinet and fill all three vacant posts. The Congress, which had contested the Assembly polls in alliance with Congress and won five seats, decided against joining the Omar government when the CM and five cabinet ministers took oath on October 16.
