'BJP Misled Him, Gave Lollipop': Omar Abdullah's Party As MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi Quits

The resignation of Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi has triggered a full-blown political slugfest between the ruling National Conference and the BJP, with Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary accusing the Opposition party of misleading him with a "lollipop".Choudhary also linked his exit directly to a statement made by BJP leader Ram Madhav in Jammu. Madhav had on Monday claimed that the massive gathering at Ruhullah's farewell rally in Budgam was held due to the "full blessings of our people."Latching on to the remark, Choudhary said it proves the BJP's hand in breaking Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's NC."We have always said that the BJP is a powerful force trying to break the National Conference.

And as soon as Aga Ruhullah resigned yesterday, Ram Madhav's statement came along with it," Choudhary said on Tuesday."Ram Madhav himself said that all the people who attended the programme that Aga organised yesterday were our people. So why are you coming to us to ask questions?
