"Jammu and Kashmir does not belong to a family (Abdullahs) or a party (NC) but every citizen has the claim over it and Omar Abdullah is making misleading claims," BJP state spokesperson Arun Kumar Gupta told reporters here.
"Instead of making false claims and misleading statements, Omar should focus on briefing the people as to why corruption touched new heights during his tenure as the chief minister," Gupta said.
Gupta said that Omar has in reality nothing to claim and is fearing defeat in the ensuing elections which is also clear from the fact that he has even left his traditional constituency and opted to file nominations from Sonawar also.
"NC is responsible for the damages caused in the state. Not only NC but PDP and Congress are also equally responsible for the problems and miseries facing the people for decades now," he said.
Attacking the Congress he said Congress is an opportunist party and can shake hands with anyone to remain in power and cannot be trusted. The people are well aware of their dual speak and they have decided to teach it (Congress) a lesson.
Omar, who is the working president of National Conference, had said in an election rally on December 2 that NC was not only the political custodian of state's honour and political individuality but also repository of sacrifices rendered ever since it came into being to fight suppression, autocracy and injustice.
