SRINAGAR: Despite J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah's persistent push, the key promise of restoration of statehood is yet to be realised as the National Conference completed 100 days in office on Saturday.

While the NC says that significant works have been done in first three months providing a "good start" to the CM, Opposition leaders accuse the government of not doing anything to fulfil its poll guarantees.

Soon after assuming office along with five ministers on October 16, the new government not only faced challenges but also expectations from people, who had been devoid of an elected government for the past six years.

Legislator and party's chief spokesman Tanvir Sadiq says there have been no misses, but only hits in the first 100 days of the Omar Abdullah government. "Hundred days in a tenure of five years are too short to dwell on shortcomings. However, we've made significant strides, from passing a cabinet resolution in the assembly on special status to approving another for statehood, from changing the academic session to securing age relaxations. Much has been initiated and more is in progress," said Sadiq.
