Will fulfil all promises made to people, no need for shadow cabinet: Omar

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Saturday said his government would fulfil all the promises made to the people and slammed the BJP that has reportedly formed a shadow cabinet, saying there is no such system in India.

"There is only one cabinet. There is no shadow cabinet in our country. The BJP has ruled here till now. Now, the people's government will do its work.

"There is no need for a shadow. We have promised the people about meeting their expectations, and we stand by our promise," Abdullah told reporters here.

The chief minister visited the residence of Ghulam Sibtain Masoodi who passed away earlier this week, to offer his condolences.

Masoodi was the brother of National Conference MLA Hasnain Masoodi and father-in-law of Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

The chief minister also called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha here and discussed various issues relating to the forthcoming Budget Session of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, a spokesperson said. The Budget session will commence on Monday.
