SRINAGAR, Nov 15: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah has hinted his party would participate in Assembly polls if fresh elections to the State legislature were announced in near future.
“You got the control of a handful of towns & cities because NC & PDP stayed away (and the Congress did such a poor job of putting up a fight). Do you really think we will give you a walkover in the Assembly polls?” Abdullah wrote on his Twitter handle today.
He was responding to BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav, who had asked the National Conference and the People’s Democratic Party if they would participate in Assembly polls if held in near future.
“On one hand, they (NC and PDP) say they will not take part in elections to safeguard Article 35A, on the other, they demand dissolution of Assembly and fresh elections. Tomorrow if Assembly elections are held, will you fight or go by your boycott?”, Madhav said at a function in Kathua on Tuesday night.
