Sheikh Khursheed criticized Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s recent remarks about the dual governance model being a “recipe for disaster” and called it an attempt to shift blame. “Omar Abdullah says the government lacks power when it comes to addressing people’s issues, yet his Deputy Chief Minister claims they have full powers, boasting of suspending officers as proof. Who should the people trust?”Sheikh Khursheed questioned.
He further added that the conflicting statements from the NC leadership expose the party’s lack of coherence and clarity. “While the Deputy Chief Minister asserts that the government is empowered, the Chief Minister’s advisor admits their dependency on the LG even for symbolic decisions like declaring a public holiday on Sheikh Abdullah’s birth anniversary. This contradiction highlights the disarray within the NC-led administration.”
Sheikh Khursheed also pointed out the NC’s failure to deliver on its promises to the people. “The NC’s governance is a mockery and such mixed messaging only deepens public distrust.
