Omar Abdullah set to become next J-K CM

Speaking to reporters, Farooq Abdullah announced that Omar would be the next chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir.  Abdullah, who has been a Lok Sabha member three times -- 1998, 1999 and 2004 -- is known to come back stronger after every electoral defeat.

He won the 2004 Lok Sabha elections after being humbled in his family bastion of Ganderbal in the 2002 Assembly elections by a little-known candidate -- Qazi Mohammad Afzal.

It was Afzal, who as the forest minister, approved the transfer of forest land to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board in 2008 which sparked massive protests for and against the order in Jammu and valley respectively.

Seizing the opportunity, Abdullah made a career-defining speech in the Lok Sabha when the situation in Jammu and Kashmir was being discussed.

In the elections held at the end of 2008, he wrested Ganderbal and the NC emerged as the single largest party. He became the chief minister at the age of 38 -- one of the youngest in the country -- and headed the coalition government with the Congress .

Had the NC vice president lost the Assembly poll, no member of the Abdullah family would have been in either Parliament or the Vidhan Sabha for the first time since 1996.
