May 23, 2019 14:08

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has congratulated PM Modi for his "historic win" and said that it is time for the Congress to get an Amit Shah. "Congratulations to Narendra Modi ji for a historic mandate. Today surely belongs to BJP and it's allies. Time for Congress to get an Amit Shah," she tweeted.

Truer words were never said.

Accepting the verdict with grace, Mufti said, "Ive been fortunate to get the love & affection of my people. They have every right to express their anger for my failings. Accept their verdict with humility. Congratulations to winning candidates from NC. Im grateful to my party workers & colleagues."

The National Conference is leading on three Lok Sabha seats in Jammu and Kashmir, while the BJP has opened huge leads in two constituencies of the state. Former chief minister and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti is trailing at the third spot in the Anantnag Lok Sabha seat, where the NC's Hasnain Masoodi is leading and Congress state president G A Mir is in second place.

National Conference president Farooq Abdullah is leading by 48,000 votes over the PDP's Aga Mohsin.
