Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has accused People's Conference leader Sajjad Lone of warming up to the Bharatiya Janata Party in the election season.
Abdullah's attack on Lone comes after his meeting with PM Narendra Modi in New Delhi earlier in November. The CM has accused Lone of trying to end the special status for Jammu and Kashmir.
But the separatist-turned-politician has denied these allegations saying the Article 370 is not under threat in the state. While speaking to Network 18, he also said that it was a time for a new party to form government in the state. Lone said that his meeting with the PM was being blown out of proportion. "You have to look at it in a certain context. It's not about me meeting the PM and Kashmir politics. You also have to understand that he is the PM of India. Whether you want him or not. He is your PM and my PM. I met the PM of India. Why so much controversy," asked the former separatist.
Meanwhile, Omar Abdullah is confident that his party National Conference will retain power in the state and that too on its own. He has once again denied reports of a post-poll tie up with BJP.
