Omar Abdullah Meets J&K Lt Governor, Claims Right to Form Government
"I met the LG and handed over letters of support that I have received from the Congress, the CPI-M, the AAP and the Independents. I requested him to fix a date for the swearing-in ceremony so that the government can start functioning. It will be a long process as there is Central rule here. The LG will first send the documents to Rashtrapati Bhawan and then to Home Ministry. We have been told it will take 2-3 days. So if it happens before Tuesday, we will have the swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday. All I want to say is that Jammu will not be ignored in this government," he said after the meeting.
