"This clearly indicates that Gov Vohra doesn't see an early end to central rule in the state. Elections this year?" Omar tweeted.
His comment came after Vohra appointed retired IAS officers Pervez Dewan and Khurshid Ganai as Advisors to help him in running the administration.
The state has been under Governor's Rule since January 8, a day after the then Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed passed away.
Vohra had on February 2 invited PDP president Mehbooba Mufti and BJP state president Sat Pal Sharma for clarifying their stand on government formation in the state but both put the onus on each other.
PDP, with 27 MLAs in the 87-member Assembly and BJP with25 legislators, ran a coalition government headed by Sayeed for 10months before his demise on January 7.
