Kashmir: National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah, addressing a public gathering in South Kashmir, lashed out at PDP, stating, “PDP is aiding BJP because they are absent from this stage where leaders of parties supporting the INDIA Bloc are present today.” Omar highlighted that seat-sharing was suggested by the India Bloc, refuting PDP’s accusations of selfishness. He claimed that the PDP joined the INDIA Bloc solely for electoral features, alleging that events not on this stage are not directly supporting the BJP.
Omar emphasised that within the Kashmir Valley, there is no such thing as a contest between the India Alliance and BJP as a consequence of robust resentment towards BJP’s actions since August 2019. He acknowledged, “Unfortunately, PDP’s withdrawal from the India alliance in the Kashmir Valley over seat-sharing has led to internal conflict. Nonetheless, I remain confident in winning all three seats in Kashmir.”
Furthermore, Omar asserted that the India Bloc is gaining momentum each in Jammu and Kashmir and throughout the nation throughout these Lok Sabha Polls.
Critiquing BJP, Omar remarked, “BJP has deployed proxies to counter us,” citing Sajad Lone and Altaf Bukhari’s events in Kashmir as aligning with BJP. He took a dig at Sajad Lone, mentioning, “Sajad himself has conceded defeat in North Kashmir by seeking Apni Party’s support against the National Conference.”
Yesterday, People’s Conference Chief Sajad Lone appealed to the Apni Party President in a press convention to assist him within the Baramulla parliamentary constituency, the place Sajad is competing towards Omar Abdullah.
