BJP remote controlled from Nagpur, says Omar

June 11, 2013 20:28

In a terse reply to BJP, which had described ruling National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir as a party of "father-son" duo, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said today that NC was controlled by the people, "unlike BJP which is remote controlled from Nagpur".

"Look who is getting all touchy. At least my party is controlled by people who fight elections not by remote control from Nagpur," Omar said today on microblogging site Twitter in reaction to the statement of BJP spokesman.

Omar further said, "and clearly you (BJP) don't have a problem with father-son combinations as long as they are in the BJP or allied to you".

Earlier today, BJP had attacked Omar for his remarks on developments within the party saying that unlike others, theirs was not a "father-son" or "mother-son" party.
