Jammu, October 5: Union Home Minister Amit Shah termed NC leader Omar Abdullah’s charge of further curtailment of powers of Chief Minister as “ misleading and speculative.”
Omar on Friday evening had tweeted that government had instructed chief secretary to work out changes in transaction of business rules to cut down powers of chief minister. He had attributed these changes to the “ defeat of BJP in the recently concluded assembly polls in J&K “.
Reacting to Omar’s tweet , Home Minister said, “
Mr. @OmarAbdullah’s tweet is misleading and speculative in nature. There is not even an iota of truth, as there is absolutely no such proposal. The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019 passed by the Parliament of India provides for notifying the transaction of business rules, and the same was notified in the year 2020. The people of J&K have wholeheartedly supported the efforts of the Government of India to bring in a democratically elected government through the historic free and fair election process in which the citizens participated enthusiastically”

Earlier , Omar had alleged in a tweet:” The BJP has clearly accepted defeat in J&K. Why else would the Chief secretary be assigned the duty to change transaction of business rules of the government to curtail the powers of the Chief minister / elected government and assign the same to the LG? This information has come to me from within the Secretariat. Officers would be well advised to resist any pressure to further disempower the incoming elected government.”
