Omar Abdullah, leader of the National Conference, broke his “jinx” by running on election day and winning a decisive victory in Jammu and Kashmir's Assembly elections. His party, led by his father, Farooq Abdullah, won 42 out of 90 seats. Despite past doubts, Omar embraced the challenge after a Lok Sabha loss. He humorously shared how his run almost didn’t happen due to superstition. He now focuses on restoring statehood, ensuring unity between Jammu and Kashmir, and maintaining a productive relationship with the Centre, stating, "Statehood must follow after delimitation and elections."
