JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said that the INDIA bloc should better be wound up if it was formed only for the parliamentary elections last year.
Responding to media queries in Jammu, Abdullah said there was no timeframe attached to the INDIA bloc. He expressed regrets over lack of clarity being exhibited by its leadership.
"The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Congress, and other parties have to take the call on how they effectively compete against the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] in Delhi. After the assembly elections, these parties should convene a meeting of all the alliance members. If this alliance (INDIA bloc) was only for the parliamentary elections then it should be wound up and we will work separately. But if it is meant for the assembly elections as well, we will have to sit together and work collectively," he said.
The chief minister was responding to a question about an Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader's statement that the INDIA bloc was meant only for the Lok Sabha elections.
"As far as I remember, no time limit was set for this. The issue is that no meeting of the INDIA bloc is being convened," he said.
"Whether this alliance will continue is also unclear. Perhaps, the members of the INDIA bloc will be called for a meeting after the Delhi elections, and clarity would emerge," he said.
