October 21, 2014 14:38

In other news: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said BJP's win in Haryana and Maharashtra would have some effect on the assembly elections in the state, but maintained that the influence would not be as much as previously expected.

"While obviously, the BJP will have some effect in Jammu and Kashmir, I don't think it will be as much as previously expected," Omar said.

The chief minister said though BJP did well in the elections in the two states, the results were not upto their expectations.

The Chief Minister said, "Yes, they (BJP) have done well, but not nearly as well as they had expected. If you compare BJP's Parliament results in Haryana and BJP-Shiv Sena results in Parliament (polls) till now, they haven't translated Parliament results into Assembly results in those states."
