Farooq Abdullah with mother Begum Abdullah
                          1985
  Farooq Abdullah with his mother Begum Abdullah in 1985 after winning the Jammu and Kashmir elections. It was a historic mandate which he could never fulfil. But at that time hopes ran high. As he said: "Despite the large-scale rigging and the use of money power, people have not accepted the new state government installed by the ruling party." He lost power when he was replaced by his brother-in-law, Ghulam Mohammad Shah.
