A day after Omar Abdullah claimed that PDP leader Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was in touch with BJP leaders, the Opposition party today retorted saying the Chief Minister was trying to divert attention from the "failures" of his governance.
"Since Omar Abdullah has nothing to show as his performance report to the people at the end of his tenure, he is resorting to lies and concocted stories to divert attention of people from the reality," PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said.
She was addressing public meetings at Wadipora and Magam in north Kashmir Handwara town, 80 kms from here.
Omar yesterday claimed that Sayeed was secretly in touch with BJP leaders, which exposed the opposition party's hunger for power in the state.
"Hidden meetings of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed with the close associates of Lal Krishna Advani and his close contact with Narendra Modi has come to the fore exposing the ideology of PDP," Omar had said at a public meeting in Shopian district.
Mehbooba said the chief minister is resorting to "lies" by saying that the PDP had any tie up with the BJP.
"To solve the unemployment problems in the Abdullah family, NC, it is a known fact, has aligned with everybody in Delhi during the past, and it is no big deal for them to work with (Narendra) Modi," she claimed.
