Jammu, May 23: Describing Chief Minister Omar Abdullah as a “tourist-in-chief,” Leader of Opposition Sunil Kumar Sharma while speaking to Media said the CM’s calendar is packed with foreign tours rather than the disposal of files to address issues faced by the common man.
Sharma said the Chief Minister is missing over the past 10 days and he is behaving more like a globetrotting traveler than the elected head of a sensitive state like Jammu and Kashmir.
He added that Omar Abdullah seems to be under the delusion that he is a tourist 24×7 or running a travel blog, not a state but Jammu and Kashmir is facing a plethora of problems ranging from the absence of electricity, water, and health facilities.
He said the CM is behaving like a tourist even as he himself is minister in-charge of 18 departments, including Finance, Power Development, General Administration, Tourism, Revenue, and several others.
A normal human being like me cannot do justice to more than one or two departments, but he is a ‘superman’ and he himself controls 50 percent of the administrative departments.
The LoP added that Omar Abdullah’s non-seriousness could be imagined by the fact that a few months ago he wanted to rush to Paris in the middle of Kashmiri growers facing an unprecedented crisis with apple consignments stranded on the highway.
He further said that the BJP will soon lodge a missing report over the disappearance of CM Omar Abdullah.
