Makes me wonder what else NaMo lies about: Omar
March 26, 2014
Omar Abdullah '@abdullah_omar The ease with which NaMo lied today about me flying over his rally in Jammu makes me wonder what else the man lies about in his speeches.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today hit-out at
Narendra Modi, saying the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate "plays fast
and loose with the truth" and his rally in the state is being
"blissfully ignored" by him.
"NaMo certainly plays fast &
loose with the truth. He quotes me & can't even get that right. Modi
Sb please quote me but do it right :-)," Omar tweeted.
Modi, in a
rally in Jammu today, quoted Omar as having said that Jammu and Kashmir
had never witnessed a rally as huge as Modi's on December 1 last year.
"When I came here for a rally last time, state Chief Minister
(Omar) used a helicopter to see how huge the rally was. And he (Omar)
was honest to say on Twitter that Jammu and Kashmir had never witnessed
such a rally," Modi said in his speech at Hira Nagar today.
However,
Omar denied the same. Omar had uploaded a photograph, taken from an
aircraft, of Modi's December 1 rally last year at Jammu, to highlight
the attendance of the people.
"Taken at 1:50 today while the
state chopper was flying to Srinagar. Anyone want to estimate crowd
size?" Omar had said in the December 1 tweet. "I put the photograph
because it's a small stadium with lots of open space visible. Estimates
range from 25,000 to 45,000. You decide #Jammu," he wrote in another
tweet.
