Omar congrats Rahul for Cong victory in three states, blames PM Modi for BJP’s poll debacle

Srinagar: National Conference Vice President and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday congratulated Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his party’s victory in the assembly elections in three states of Hindi heartland and also put the blame BJP’s poll debacle in recently held assembly elections on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Omar said that the BJP should apply same yardsticks for Modi also which they did when Congress lost elections in some states for which BJP blamed Rahul.
“Congratulations to the Congress & especially to its leader @RahulGandhi for the great success in these elections. He took the blame & the brickbats for all the setbacks & now deserves the credit for these victories. It was nice to have something to celebrate on counting day. And for my friends in the BJP – you can’t blame @RahulGandhi for losing elections & not apply the same yardstick to Modi ji. If those were Rahul’s losses then these 3 heartland state losses belong to the Prime Minister & his policies,” Omar wrote on Twitter.
