Omar Abdullah's performance falls short of 2024 manifesto promises, say critics

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has attributed gaps in fulfilling his party's 2024 election manifesto to limited powers held by his administration, with the Lieutenant Governor retaining significant authority. Opposition leaders and a National Conference MP have raised concerns about unmet promises from the campaign, pointing to delays in implementing key commitments.

The criticism comes as the government faces scrutiny over its progress in delivering on electoral pledges made during the assembly elections. Abdullah's characterization of the power structure underscores ongoing tensions between the elected government and the administrative framework in the union territory.
