Srinagar, Oct 17: People’s Conference (PC) President and Handwara lawmaker Sajad Gani Lone on Thursday launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, accusing him of misleading the public over his promise to provide 200 units of free electricity.
Reacting to Abdullah’s statement, Lone said the issue was no longer about free electricity but about “the Chief Minister lying through his teeth.”
“Now this is no longer about free 200 units of electricity. This is now about CM sahib lying through his teeth,” Lone said in a post on X. “The comparison between the pre- and post-election videos of CM sahib about smart meters unambiguously and digitally nails the lies and deception.”
Lone further said that Abdullah’s changing stance on the smart meter issue had exposed his duplicity. “Mark my words — this is the ‘coffee and toffee’ moment for CM sahib for all times to come,” he added, referring to the controversy as a defining episode in Abdullah’s political career.(KNS).
