‘Dual centres of power are not to anyone’s advantage’: J&K CM Abdullah

SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said the hybrid model of governance in the Union territory is not to anyone’s advantage and the systems work better when there is single centre of command.

“Obviously, dual centres of power are not to anyone’s advantage. If dual centres were effective tools of governance, you would see it everywhere,” Abdullah told reporters at a media interaction here when asked about the hybrid model of governance in Jammu and Kashmir.

The chief minister said while there have been “differences of opinion on some issues”, there was no confrontation with the Raj Bhavan.
