SRINAGAR: If BJP credits PM Narendra Modi for its UP victory, it should also explain Delhi and Bihar debacles, former chief minister Omar Abdullah today said as he asked the opposition to begin preparing for “tough” 2019 polls.
Seeking to clarify his remarks made in the wake of UP election results that with no leader to take on Modi, the opposition should forget 2019 and prepare for 2024, Abdullah said he was only stressing on the need to learn lessons and prepare for the difficult test that the next general elections would be.
“I said (on Twitter) that if the same situation prevails, I mean the defeat, which we faced in these elections (in UP), if we did not learn from it, then undoubtedly we should think about 2024 elections instead of 2019,” he told reporters here. (AGENCIES)
