However, congress refused to join the cabinet.
Why did congress not join the cabinet?
There are two reasons being given for congress leaders not joining the Omar cabinet. Firstly, congress wanted two ministerial posts in the Omar government, but only one was being given. To build pressure, congress decided to support from outside. Secondly, the congress leadership does not want the big leaders of the state unit to be gifted ministerial posts after winning only 6 seats, giving the worst performance ever in Jammu and Kashmir. In a way, this is being considered as political atonement by the Congress. However, to give the message of political unity, rahul Gandhi, mallikarjun Kharge attended the swearing-in ceremony of Omar Abdullah.
