J&K Election 2024: National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah filed his nomination papers from Budgam district in a historic moment. A day before this important development, on Wednesday, he had filed his nomination papers from Ganderbal. The move marks the beginning of a new political journey, bringing back memories of former chief minister Omar Abdullah's previous tenure.

While filing his papers in Ganderbal, Omar Abdullah made an emotional appeal. He called upon the locals to protect their honour and said that their credibility is now in their hands. The words came from his heart and made it clear how devoted he is to his old constituency. Abdullah also mentioned that he has returned to Ganderbal again after 16 years and this time he wants another opportunity to serve the region. In his speech, he used the Kashmiri language, making his appeal even more personal and impressive.

Political reelection in Budgam

Omar Abdullah's politics took a new turn when he won the 2014 election from Beerwah assembly seat in Budgam district. However, he left the Ganderbal seat for then party colleague Ishfaq Jabbar. Now, with his nomination from Budgam, it appears that he is trying to re-establish his political influence in central Kashmir.
