So many stories doing the rounds about a BJP NC deal. Let me say this as strongly as possible - THERE IS NO DEAL NOR ANY DISCUSSION going on — Omar Abdullah (@abdullah_omar) December 25, 2014

I hope someone from the PDP/BJP/Cong steps up & forms a government in J&K quickly. Denying stupid rumours is fast becoming a full time job. — Omar Abdullah (@abdullah_omar) December 25, 2014



BJP had bagged 25 seats out of 87 in the state.
