If INDIA bloc was only for parliamentary polls, better wind it up: Omar

Responding to media queries in Jammu, Abdullah said there was no timeframe attached to the INDIA bloc. He expressed regrets over lack of clarity being exhibited by its leadership.

“The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Congress, and other parties have to take the call on how they effectively compete against the BJP in Delhi. After the assembly elections, these parties should convene a meeting of all the alliance members. If this alliance (INDIA bloc) was only for the parliamentary elections then it should be wound up and we will work separately. But if it is meant for the assembly elections as well, we will have to sit together and work collectively,” he said.

The chief minister was responding to a question about an RJD leader’s statement that the INDIA bloc was meant only for the Lok Sabha elections.
