"Former Deputy Mayor Imran Questions Abdullah and JKNC's Changing Stance on Power Policy".
In a bold tweet, former Deputy Mayor Sheikh Mohammad Imran has called out Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) leader Omar Abdullah over a sudden shift in policy on smart meters. Before the elections, Abdullah and his party staunchly opposed the installation of smart meters, resonating with public concerns over increased electricity costs and privacy. However, according to Imran’s tweet, post-election Abdullah and JKNC have reportedly advocated for the widespread implementation of smart meters to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
Imran’s tweet reads: “Before elections, Omar Abdullah Sahib & JKNC: ‘No smart meters!’ After elections: ‘Let’s install smart meters everywhere for uninterrupted power!’ Did someone switch his settings from ‘Oppose’ to ‘Approve’?”
The tweet has sparked widespread debate, with many accusing Abdullah of political opportunism. Critics argue that such a shift raises questions about the consistency and sincerity of JKNC’s promises to voters. On the other hand, supporters of the policy change claim that it reflects a pragmatic approach to addressing Jammu and Kashmir’s longstanding power woes.
As the controversy unfolds, residents and political analysts alike are left to ponder: Was this a case of necessary compromise, or merely politics as usual?
