SRINAGAR, Dec 5: Reacting to a new poll which puts Congress and BJP neck and neck in Gujarat Assembly elections, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) poll may very well be wrong, but tone and tenor of BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi campaign suggest the numbers they are seeing aren’t exactly encouraging.
Abdullah, who is the working president of National Conference (NC), said scraping across the half way mark with a couple of seats to spare, when mission was 150+ will be a very hollow victory.
“Numbers will tell the story,” he added. “CSDS poll may very well be wrong but tone & tenor of BJP & PM campaign suggest the numbers they are seeing aren’t exactly encouraging,” Abdullah wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
“Scraping across the halfway mark with a couple of seats to spare, when mission was 150+ will be a very hollow victory. Numbers will tell the story,” he wrote in response to a tweet which read the ‘BJP will win’.
Meanwhile, taking a jibe at BJP over its attack over Rahul Gandhi being appointed as Congress president, Abdullah asked why does the BJP have selective aversion to dynastic politics.
“Dynastic political parties in alliance with the BJP are great but the ones in opposition not so much,” he said.
