Instead of IPL, talk about Centre’s 'unwillingness' to hold J&K Assembly polls, Omar Abdullah tells Narendra Modi
Srinagar, May 3 (UNI) National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah on Friday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to talk about delay in J&K Assembly election instead of asserting that ‘IPL could not be played in India for two seasons as the UPA government was scared of terrorists’.
Abdullah, who is the former chief minister of J&K, said the Modi-led NDA is the first government since 1996 that has been 'unable or unwilling' to have Assembly elections in J&K on schedule.
“Why is the Hon PM talking about IPL? His is the first government since 1996 that has been unable/unwilling to have assembly elections in J&K on schedule. Why doesn’t he talk about that also?,” Abdullah wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
While addressing a rally Modi in Karauli, Rajasthan said that the youth takes a lot of interest in IPL, but there were two occasions when it could not be played in India, it was played in South Africa. “This happened in 2009 and 2014. The government at the centre was so scared of terrorists. That government had no courage,” Modi alleged.
