If anyone has played the biggest role in bringing BJP (in J&K) then it is PDP and its leadership: Omar Abdullah

On PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, Omar Abdullah said, " Mehbooba Mufti has brought nothing but destruction and ruin to Jammu and Kashmir. If anyone has played the biggest role in bringing BJP (in J&K) then it is PDP and its leadership.

"First of all, she should give an account of 2016. She has not apologised for bringing the BJP here. She has not apologised for pushing Jammu and Kashmir towards this destruction.

"Why is she targeting me? What was the compulsion to form an alliance with the BJP in 2016? We were ready to give them the government at that time. The National Conference and the Congress first sent their support to Mufti Sahab and after his death, to Mehbooba Mufti. Why did they reject it? What was their weakness that they had to go with the BJP."
