CM Omar Abdullah News: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Sunday targeted both the Congress party and the BJP and openly expressed his opinion on many issues. Advising the Congress to stop raising questions on EVMs, he accused the BJP of adopting double standards on nepotism.

Lesson for Congress on EVM controversy

Omar Abdullah advised the Congress party to avoid raising questions on EVMs and said that the election results should be accepted with respect. Taking a dig at the Congress, he said, "When more than 100 of your MPs reach Parliament through this EVM and you celebrate the victory, then after a few months you cannot reject it because the results were not as per your expectations."

After the defeat of the Congress in the recent state elections, allegations of EVM tampering were made. This statement of Omar is a strong message to the Congress that questioning the election process weakens the public's confidence.

A befitting reply to the BJP on nepotism

Omar Abdullah termed the repeated criticism by the BJP on the issue of nepotism as hypocrisy. He said, "Being associated with a political family is not a guarantee of lifelong success. The BJP has no objection to nepotism in its allies, but it has no hesitation in accusing the opposition parties."

He also said that being associated with a family does not mean that success will be handed to everyone on a platter. He believes that any political leader has to make his own place.

Talking about the future of his sons

Regarding his sons, Zameer and Zaheer, Omar Abdullah clarified that they are busy in their careers as lawyers. However, he had supported his father during the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. He said, "If my sons have to come into politics, they will have to make their own place. They will not be guaranteed anything."

This statement of Omar makes it clear that despite criticizing family politics, he is not in favor of stopping family members from entering politics, but believes it is based on individual hard work and ability.

Sharp attack on BJP

Omar Abdullah accused BJP of adopting double standards on the politics of nepotism and said that this is only a part of their political convenience. He said, "BJP targets only those political parties which are against them. But, they remain completely silent on the nepotism of their allies. This shows the hypocrisy of their politics."

Conclusion

This statement of Omar Abdullah has once again sparked a debate on nepotism and the electoral process. While he advised Congress to introspect on the EVM controversy, he also described BJP's rhetoric against nepotism as a means of political gain. This statement reflects Omar Abdullah's clear and balanced approach, in which he has put forward the ground issues and hypocrisy of politics.
