Omar Abdullah's First Year as Chief Minister
Omar Abdullah's first year as Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir has been marked by significant challenges, as he leads a government with a popular mandate but limited power.
Despite high expectations following the National Conference's return, Abdullah's administration struggles with autonomy, as key powers remain with the Raj Bhawan.
This structural imbalance has left Abdullah as one of the most powerless Chief Ministers, echoing the struggles faced by Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party in its fight for control over services.
The symbolic revival of the Darbar Move stands as one of the few notable actions, while routine administrative matters face delays, highlighting the constraints on Abdullah's domestic and international engagements.
When Omar Abdullah took oath as Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir on October 16 last year, expectations were high.
