Srinagar, Oct 27: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah\u2019s Advisor Nasir Aslam Wani on Tuesday acknowledged resentment and disappointment among National Conference (NC) legislators following the cabinet expansion, saying every MLA aspires to become a minister, but Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Union Territory status poses its own challenges.<\/p>\n
Talking to media persons here, Wani, as reported by the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said it was natural for legislators to harbour ministerial ambitions, but accommodating everyone in the cabinet was not possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s obvious, as everybody has an ambition to become a minister, but we are facing challenges as we are in a Union Territory and have enough MLAs,\u201d Wani said.<\/p>\n
Acknowledging the possibility of resentment among party legislators who were not inducted into the cabinet, he said they had every right to feel disappointed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere may be resentment or disappointment, and they have the right to be angry because they are the family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The CM’s Advisor added that people in every constituency naturally wanted their elected representative to become a minister, but fulfilling everyone\u2019s aspirations was difficult. \u201cIt is not possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On senior NC leader Mubarak Gul, Wani said party president Dr Farooq Abdullah had appointed him as the party\u2019s general secretary, adding that Gul would now work in that capacity. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
