‘BJP respects democratic traditions’: NDA leaders defend against Omar Abdullah's ‘trying to break my party’ charge

Leaders from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Monday defended the BJP against accusations by National Conference leader Omar Abdullah, who claimed the party was attempting to break his organization. Abdullah also alleged the BJP was instrumental in weakening other opposition parties, including the Trinamool Congress, Shiv Sena, and Aam Aadmi Party.

Responding to these claims, NCP leader Praful Patel asserted that the BJP had not obstructed the National Conference and Congress from forming a government in Jammu and Kashmir. Patel's statement aimed to counter Abdullah's narrative by highlighting the absence of interference in potential coalition efforts.

The exchange underscores the ongoing political tensions and accusations between national parties and regional players in the context of Indian politics. Abdullah's charges reflect a broader concern among some opposition figures about the BJP's influence and alleged tactics in consolidating power across various states.
