17 NC MLAs Give Party 15-Day Ultimatum Over Internal Issues
Seventeen National Conference legislators in Jammu and Kashmir gave the party a 15-day ultimatum to deal with what they call 'coterie culture' and other issues. They met for four hours in Srinagar, three days after Omar Abdullah expanded the Cabinet, leaving several leaders unhappy at not getting a post.

The National Conference is led by Omar Abdullah, who became Jammu and Kashmir's chief minister after the 2024 assembly election. Cabinet berths often cause friction within parties, and internal rifts can shape how a government holds together.
