Omar Abdullah likely to resign as JK Chief Minister
He will meet the state's governor NN Vohra. Omar hinted about his resignation on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
He wrote, "...My bio (biodata) will change once I've called on the Governor tomorrow."
This resignation comes as a result of the recently concluded assembly elections in which the Chief Minister's party National Conference won 17 seats, including two independents from Zanskar and Udhampur supported by the party.
44-year-old Omar called nervousness a day before the counting in 2008, Omar said, "6 years ago I was nervous as hell the night before counting. This time I'm strangely calm. What will be will be & I'll be a happy person."
The poll result saw BJP winning 25 seats, Indian National Congress winning 12 seats, PDP winning the highest number of 28 seats and 7 seats were won by others in the 87-member assembly.
