Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah Plans Cabinet Expansion After GST Meeting
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has indicated a cabinet expansion following the GST Council meeting in Delhi and consultations with National Conference president Farooq Abdullah. The current council operates with six members, leaving vacancies amid demands from the Congress party for two ministerial berths. Within the National Conference, competition for remaining positions is intensifying. The expansion will be the first since the 2024 Assembly elections and aims to balance regional, religious, and caste representation under the constraints of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.
