Question:

Options:

2006

2008

2010

2012

Correct Answer:

2008

Explanation:

President's rule was imposed on the state in July 2008.

As per the terms of the coalition agreement, Mufti Mohammed initially led the government for the first three years. Subsequently, Ghulam Nabi Azad from the Indian National Congress took over. However, his tenure was cut short as President's rule was imposed on the state in July 2008. The subsequent election was conducted in November-December 2008. This led to the formation of another coalition government, composed of the National Conference (NC) and the Indian National Congress (INC), with Omar Abdullah as the head in 2009. Yet, the state continued to experience disturbances spearheaded by the Hurriyat Conference.
