Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday appeared to blame Congress for chipping away Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) votes as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took an early lead in Delhi amid the continuing flagging of the Opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA). The constituents of the bloc including West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party backed the AAP in the Delhi polls and campaigned for it.
“Aur lado aapas mein [and continue fighting each other]!!!” Abdullah quote posted a post from the digital platform DeKoder on X quoting political analyst Manisha Priyam suggesting Congress was chipping away votes from AAP as it appeared to be losing.
