A day after Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah said the INDIA bloc is currently “on life support”, several other constituents raised concerns over the issue of lack of coordination in the alliance and called for an introspection.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Manoj Jha called Abdullah’s remarks a “rushed comment’, while PDP legislator Waheed-ur-Rehman accused the National Conference of using INDIA bloc for votes and “sup-

porting NDA government's narrative” outside J&K.

Meanwhile, the BJP and its allies targeted the Opposition over the comments, saying the INDIA bloc is “already dead”.
