As the BJP takes a strong lead in the Delhi Assembly elections, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has made some sharp comments aimed at the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). His remarks come as early results show that both parties are likely to face a big defeat.
Abdullah, who is a senior leader in the National Conference party and part of the INDIA alliance, shared a popular meme on social media platform X. The meme suggested that Congress and AAP should “fight to your heart’s content” and “finish off each other.” He added a playful comment, encouraging them to keep arguing among themselves.

His comments highlight the growing tensions within the INDIA bloc, as Abdullah has been critical of how the alliance is functioning. He has previously questioned whether the coalition is useful, suggesting it should be disbanded if it only exists for parliamentary elections.
The situation has become more complicated because Congress and AAP decided to run separately in the Delhi elections, even though they are allies at the national level. This decision has raised concerns about the unity of the opposition, which Abdullah believes is more focused on individual party goals rather than working together.
The lack of cooperation among opposition parties is seen as a reason for the BJP’s strong performance in the elections. Early trends suggest that the BJP is on track to defeat AAP and regain power in Delhi after 27 years.
Abdullah’s comments not only point out the problems within the INDIA bloc but also show his frustration with the lack of teamwork among its members. As the election results come in, these internal issues could have a significant impact on the opposition’s future plans.
