Can Omar Abdullah charm Ganderbal this time?

Can Omar Abdullah charm Ganderbal this time?

TimePosted by IBNLive at 05:12 PM, Nov 14, 2008 in Jammu and Kashmir

And he has enough reason to worry. In the 2002 polls, he was defeated by the PDP candidate Qazi Muhammad Afzal. Qazi was the forest minister when the controversial forest land allotment order to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board was made by the Congress-PDP alliance government in Jammu and Kashmir.
