If BJP gets fewer seats tomorrow, it will find no fault in PDP as ally to form govt: Omar Abdullah

SRINAGAR: National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s charges on Saturday that three families had ruined Jammu and Kashmir, saying BJP seemed to have no problem allying with these three when it needed them,

“If BJP gets less numbers after elections, and if PDP gives it support, BJP will find no fault in PDP to form govt,” Omar told reporters on the sidelines of a rally in Kulgam district. He asked why BJP didn’t consider PDP as “bad” when BJP partnered with the party after the 2014 polls. The now deceased Mufti Muhammad Sayeed became CM at that time.

Omar said that whenever BJP had needed the support of these three families in the past, it had seen nothing bad in any of them. “When the late Vajpayee wanted me to become a minister, wasn’t I bad then,” he asked, adding that the PM would blame NC as it was election time.

Omar said the PM should have talked about the killing of two soldiers in Kishtwar on Friday, and the encounter in Tappar area of Baramulla.“We were told that after the rollback of Article 370, guns would vanish, but has that happened,” he asked.
