Omar Abdullah says PM Narendra Modi's high stakes in Bihar polls evident

SRINAGAR: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said the high stakes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bihar elections were evident from his campaigning for few hours in the state while all African leaders were in the Union capital.
"That the PM left Delhi to campaign for a few hours while all the African leaders were in town says a lot about how much he has at stake in Bihar," Omar wrote on Twitter.

Modi has addressed a large number of election rallies in Bihar as the BJP-led alliance is facing a tough challenge from the grand alliance in the state.
Reacting to a recent statement by BJP president Amit Shah that if BJP loses in Bihar, celebrations would be held in Pakistan, Omar hinted that opposition to BJP would mean a person being branded as Pakistani.

"Life if so much clearer now - if you don't vote for or support the BJP you are a Pakistani since only Pakistanis celebrate BJP defeats," he said.
