SRINAGAR — As the Congress is headed for a thumping win in Karnataka, National Conference vice-president and former chief minister of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah took a swipe at the BJP over holding of elections in the Union Territory.

In a tweet, as per the news agency KNO, Omar Abdullah said that BJP won’t have the courage to allow assembly elections to take place in Jammu and Kashmir.
