National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah on Monday said, “The BJP’s (Bharatiya Janata Party) bravado to have its own chief minister from Jammu has fallen flat in J&K.”
“The BJP’s attempts fell flat twice, first by stitching an alliance with the 28-member PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) in 2015, and later, while unsuccessfully attempting to form the government by surrendering before a party with two MLAs from north Kashmir,” said the former chief minister, who held a meeting of the party’s district and block presidents in Jammu.
Launching a scathing attack on the BJP, Mr. Abdullah, “I dare the BJP to declare its chief ministerial candidate for J&K ahead of the Assembly elections.”
