The proximity between Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah during the inauguration of the Jammu-Tawi Golf Course here today could have an impact on the political scene of the state.
A faction within the Congress, led by Pradesh Congress Committee chief Saifuddin Soz, has been demanding rotation of chief ministership, but the proximity between the Abdullahs and Azad is being seen as an indication in political circles that the Azad lobby is in favour of continuation of Omar as the Chief Minister.
During the inaugural ceremony of the golf course here, the trio were seen in a humorous mood. Also during the photo session, Farooq chipped in asking Azad to take the centre stage between him and his son, which turned out to be a gesture that invited the attention of both the public and the media.
Later, Omar gave the credit of the golf course to Azad, as the project had started during the latter’s regime as the Chief Minister.
