Modi only PM since 1996 who has been unable to conduct assembly elections in J-K on time: Omar

SRINAGAR: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah Friday hit out at Narendra Modi, saying he is the only Prime Minister since 1996 who has been “unable” to conduct assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir on time.

“Modi ji cements his status as the ONLY Prime Minister since 1996 unable to conduct elections on time in J&K. Remember this the next time you fete him as the strongest PM in living memory!” he tweeted.

The former chief minister was reacting after the election authorities in Jammu and Kashmir Friday withdrew an order within hours after they had asked the district election officers to submit information about district level nodal officers for 2019 assembly elections in the state within two days.
