Srinagar: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday released a sharp attack on Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah after his claim that he would”resign instead of ally with the BJP”for statehood remediation. BJP implicated Omar Abdullah of delighting in ‘outrageous politics’and spreading out’ intentional lies ‘.
At a press instruction in Srinagar, the BJP dismissed Omar’s claim that there had actually ever been a possibility of an alliance with National Conference and mentioned ‘doors are closed permanently’.
“Who in the BJP used Omar Abdullah an alliance in 2024? Let him call the individual. There were never ever 2 choices, and the BJP was never ever thinking about forming a federal government in Jammu and Kashmir,” BJP stated in the media instruction today.
‘Shameless Politics’
Countering at Omar Abdullah’s declaration made in Anantnag’s Achabal location where he declared he would rather resign than compromise politically for statehood of the area, BJP stated, “This is shameless politics by the Chief Minister. He has started targeting others after being completely sidelined by Delhi’s political circles in an act of desperation.”
The BJP further questioned CM Omar Abdullah over his repeated claims of having less administrative authority under the Union Territory setup. “Whether on Independence Day or during his visits, Omar Abdullah tries to fool people by saying he has no power. We want to ask him, what powers does he not have? He has already held 16 cabinet meetings, and every file he sent to the Lieutenant Governor was approved,” BJP spokesperson said. “If any of his files are stuck, let him tell us. We will fight for it and get them passed,” he added.
‘Congress, NC Must Answer’
Escalating its attack, BJP spokesperson said that both the Congress and the National Conference owe the country an explanation for rise in terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir during their rules.
“When their tenure, thousands of youth joined terror ranks, schools were shut, and wages of labourers stopped. It was Omar Abdullah’s government that introduced pellet guns and enforced the PSA,” BJP alleged.
The BJP further credited effective counter-terror measures by the Ministry of Home Affairs for bringing the law-and-order situation under control and claimed that today, not a single local recruitment has taken place in terrorist ranks.
‘Happy to Be in Opposition’
Clarifying on the speculations about post-poll alliances, BJP said it is ‘happy to stay in the opposition’ and will field its own candidates in upcoming bypolls.
“We will announce candidates under our own symbol in Budgam. Spreading lies against BJP and Centre is NC’s toolkit to fool people,” BJP spokesperson said.
