Omar Abdullah: The CM of Jammu and Kashmir set to lose power

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah may have won the Beerwah Assembly seat by a margin of over 1000 votes in the state but the CM is all set to lose power in the volatile state.

The National Conference leader began his debut in the state politics with a defeat from Ganderbal Assembly seat in 2002.

At 29, he became the youngest ever Union Minister when he was inducted into the then Vajpayee Government.
