Agreement reached much earlier: Omar

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Feb 21: Amidst reports of PDP and BJP having struck a deal over Government formation in Jammu and Kashmir, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today claimed that the agreement was reached much earlier but the regional party was enacting a “drama” all these days to undo the damage it may have to undergo in the Valley.
“The PDP-BJP tie up was a done deal ages ago, all this was just (PDP patron) Mufti (Mohammad) Sayeed’s grandstanding as a tough guy to undo the damage in the Valley,” Omar wrote on Twitter.
The National Conference (NC) working president said only an “idiot” would have concluded that both the parties were having difficulty in joining hands.
“Only an idiot would have concluded that Mufti Sayeed’s drama over the last few days meant PDP-BJP were actually having difficulty in joining up,” he said.
