Omer is the new J&K CM

Omer Abdullah, the third generation politician of Sheikh family is decided to be the new CM supported by the State Congress Party. Thus Farooq Abdullah has succeeded to keep power in his home by installing son Omer on the highest seat of power in Kashmir on one hand and on the other stopping Mufti's PDP from seeking coalition with the Congress. Thus Sheikh family has proved successful in retaining power among all odds it has been facing recently. 38 year old Omer has a good political experience at his back and is hence expected to do well. It is again the success of a family polity winning over many a stalwart in the party besides Farooq. The point here to ponder is how a young man would ride the high seat of power if he didn't have the highest qualification at his side of being son of a former CM and the grandson of Sheikh Abdullah ,the towering political personality of Kashmir. Moreover power is again in the hands of a Kashmir Muslim who is born in England to a Christian mother but fathered by a son of the legendery Sheikh of Kashmir called Sher-i-Kashmir. As has been the tradition in Kashmir politics the ultimate power will again remain with the Kashmiris while Jammu Hindu and Ladakh Bodhi will continue being in the back burner. Let's see how the eleven BJP legislators on one side and a more powerful lobby of PDP on the other make things difficult for the coalition govt and how the energetic young Omer with Kashmir blood in his veins respond to the situation.
