Srinagar, Oct 08 (KNO): Expressing gratitude to the people for massive victory of National Conference in the Assembly elections held after a decade, the party vice president Omar Abdullah Tuesday said J&K cannot afford to have an antagonist relation with the Centre as both have to work closely to resolve peoples\u2019 issues. He also said that the Government of India (GoI) must respect the mandate given by the people of J&K.<\/p>\n

Talking to reporters at his Gupkar residence in Srinagar, Omar, who emerged victorious from Budgam and Ganderbal Assembly seats simultaneously, said: \u201cI am thankful to people for coming out in large numbers in three phases to vote for NC. This mandate is against BJP\u2019s policies against the people of J&K. This mandate is also against the parties who were in the field to weaken NC. The reality is despite getting support from the Centre, they are nowhere today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar said whosoever becomes Chief Minister of J&K will meet Prime Minister Narendera Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. \u201cWe cannot have an antagonistic relation with the Centre. I hope the Centre respects the mandate given to us,\u201d Omar said. \u201cI hardly recall any speech of Honourable PM Modi where he stated that statehood to J&K would be restored only when BJP comes to power. I am using the word Honourable because I believe so. He (PM) has said that the Statehood will be restored after the polls.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NC vice president said he is of the belief that NC got votes from people who had never voted for the party. \u201cNow it is our responsibility to come up to the expectations of the people of J&K,\u201d he said. Omar visited Budgam and Ganderbal to thank people for ensuring his victory.<\/p>\n

Asked about whether he would be the Chief Ministerial candidate, Omar said it would be the decision of the NC\u2019s legislative party to take a call and select the CM. \u201cWe have to take alliance partner on board as well,\u201d he said, adding that \u201clet us celebrate the victory and in a next day or two, we will convene the legislative Party to discuss the future course of action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

About Jammu giving mandate to BJP, Omar said that the NC candidate defeated BJP\u2019s chief Ravinder Raina. \u201cWe will ensure that Jammu people don\u2019t feel they have no stakes in the new government. Have to ensure equality between the people of mountainous areas of Jammu and plains of Kashmir.<\/p>\n

Omar said that he believes it won\u2019t serve any purpose to LG to nominate five MLAs now as they have to simply sit in the opposition. \u201cThe practice has been that the elected government has been nominating members. This time, nominations should be from Jammu. Nominations should come from the elected government and LG must respect it,\u201d Omar said.<\/p>\n

Asked about his father\u2019s role in NC\u2019s grand victory, Omar said first it was the Almighty and then his father Dr Farooq Abdullah\u2019s efforts that led to NC\u2019s massive win. \u201cEvery mandate has my father\u2019s signatures. He is our boss\u2026,\u201d Omar said\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
