Former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah on Sunday showered praise on Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, apparently for the way the latter is handling the COVID-19 situation in his state.

  

"UddhavThackeray has been a revelation," Omar tweeted.

The Maharashtra chief minister, the first Thackeray to rule the state, has been lauded on various social media platforms for the way he is handling the COVID-19 situation despite the state having high number of positive cases. 

Maharashtra has recorded 32 coronavirus deaths so far and 661 cases of the virus.
