Not enough, says Omar

SRINAGAR: Main opposition National Conference leader and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Monday that sacking Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu from the cabinet won't salvage the PDP of its wrongdoing in the last three years of power.
"Simply sacking the architect of the BJP-PDP alliance and co-author of the agenda of the alliance will not redeem the PDP for the sins of the last three years," Abdullah tweeted.

Omar had, earlier in the day said, that Drabu's speech at an event in New Delhi has cost him "dearly".

"His (Drabu's) PHDCCI (PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry) speech cost him dearly," Omar had tweeted.

"Will be interesting to see who replaces him in the Finance Ministry," the NC working president added, while the rumour mill was working overtime, halted only with the official confirmation by Chief Minister who retained the ministry with herself.
