Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on February 3 said that the INDIA alliance will have to sit down and strategise things. The alliance will have to have a structured discussion on its future strategy, cautioning that internal rifts could harm its larger goal.
Attending an event in Jammu, Abdullah said: “I have said this before, and I will say it again—someday, the INDIA alliance will have to sit down and discuss our strategy moving forward. If we fall apart like this, it won’t be good for the country.”
He further asserted that the alliance will come together to stop the BJP. “Even if we have not fully succeeded, we have significantly strengthened the opposition in Parliament. If we continue to break apart, it won’t be a good sign,” Abdullah said.
He further said that once the Delhi assembly elections are over, a meeting should be called to have an open discussion. On the prospects of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi, Abdullah refrained from making predictions.
“I don’t get time from Jammu and Kashmir, so you tell me what is happening in Delhi. I don’t know who will win or lose, but it will be known by the day after tomorrow. Let there be voting first and results out. Then we will analyze. You have started asking questions about who will benefit from it. Who knows, like in the past, the AAP may make a clean sweep. No one knows, people haven’t even voted yet,” he said.
