Omar offered unconditional support, agreed for full term BJP CM: Sh. Devender Singh Rana
In a pin pointed attack on former Chief Minister of J&K, Omar Abdullah, the BJP on Tuesday said that in 2014 Omar met senior most leaders of the BJP and RSS at Delhi and offered unconditional support to BJP for government formation in J&K and also agreed for a full term BJP Chief Minister. This sharp attack on Omar Abdullah came from none other but a former senior National Conference (NC) leader,Sh. Devender Rana, during a press conference at Jammu. Sh. Devender Rana said that today Omar is saying that all political parties of Kashmir are part of BJP and are close to it whereas the “reality is completely opposite”. Sh. Devender Rana said, “Now, you (Omar) are saying that Ram Madhav is close to PDP but the truth is that you repeatedly approached top BJP and RSS leaders for forming government in J&K”. Sh. Devender Rana further reminded Omar that he was the union minister in Vajpayee government but today he is saying that NC has nothing to do with BJP. Sh. Devender Rana said, “In 2014, when NC had 15 MLAs, Omar went to Delhi and met senior most leaders of the BJP and also knocked the doors of RSS leaders including Home Minister Amit Shah and the then J&K Incharge, Ram Madhav and offered unconditional support to the BJP for forming government in J&K”. Omar also agreed for a full term Chief Minister of the BJP in J&K, Sh. Devender Rana said. “I also accompanied Omar that time and he (Omar) offered on the table unconditional support to the BJP for forming government in J&K and also even extended unconditional support for a full term Chief Minister of the BJP in J&K,” Sh. Devender Rana said. Sh. Devender Rana said that the BJP, however, rejected the proposal of Omar Abdullah. Rana further said that after this rejection by the BJP, Omar repeatedly kept on approaching the BJP top leadership and also knocked the doors of RSS for government formation in J&K. “NC wanted to be in power in J&K at any cost,” Rana said, while adding that after the death of former Chief Minister, Mufti Mohd Sayeed, Omar Abdullah again started approaching top BJP and RSS leader at Delhi offering unconditional support to the BJP for government formation in J&K and also agreeing for a full term BJP Chief Minister. “Farooq Abdullah was at Katra at that time and told Omar Abdullah to meet BJP and RSS leaders at Delhi and offer unconditional support to BJP for forming government in J&K,” Rana said, adding, “The BJP rejected NC’s offer at that time also” Rana said that today Omar is saying that all political parties of Kashmir are part of BJP except NC. “NC is just trying to build narrative by saying that NC has nothing to do with BJP,” Rana said adding, “rather than fooling people NC should draw future roadmap for the betterment of people. He also accused NC saying that it talks about releasing jailed stone pelters which shows that NC wants unrest in J&K. “Have they forgotten 2009 and 2010?’” Rana questioned. He also said that BJP will never allow NC to play with sentiments of Hindus as it has mentioned in its manifesto to rename Shankaracharya as Takht-e-Suleman. ======
