Srinagar, Nov 9 : The war of words between Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma intensified on Saturday, with the BJP leader accusing the CM of “living to lie” and reminding him of an old video where Omar allegedly admitted to meeting BJP leaders in 2014 for government formation.
In a statement, Sharma said he would respond to Omar’s claims about 2024 later, but for now, the Chief Minister must clarify his past actions. “I will get back to you on 2024 with more details. But do you deny holding any meeting with the BJP top brass for government formation in 2014?” Sharma asked as per KNS.
He said a recent video clip clearly shows Omar acknowledging such a meeting. “I’m attaching your own video as a reminder. You don’t need to take another oath. You already accepted it once perhaps by accident, but accidents do happen,” Sharma said.
The BJP leader hit out strongly at Omar, saying, “I don’t tell lies for a living. I don’t lie at all. Unlike you, you live to lie.”
The fresh exchange came hours after Omar Abdullah swore on the Holy Quran, denying any alliance or understanding with the BJP, asserting that his politics was transparent and based on integrity.(KNS)
