Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah on Thursday said the responsibility to strengthen the INDIA alliance lies with its largest partner. He said it is unfortunate that the partners did not meet after the elections.
J&K CM Omar Abdullah said, “The responsibility to strengthen the INDIA alliance is neither mine nor Mamata Banerjee’s. This responsibility belongs to the biggest partner of the INDIA Alliance. I have said multiple times that it is unfortunate that we don’t meet. The last meeting was held right after the elections at Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence. There has been no meeting since then.”
