Srinagar, Sep 17 (TIWN): A cordial exchange on the social networking site Twitter between the regional National Conference (NC) vice president, Omar Abdullah and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president, Ravinder Raina is being interpreted as 'warming up between the NC and the BJP' ahead of the assembly elections in J&K.
NC senior leaders have expressed dismay over the idea that a cordial exchange of words should have been interpreted as some sort of a political warming up.
"It is unfortunate and at the same time, petty thinking that Omar Sahib expressing cordiality towards Ravinder Raina and vice versa should be seen as the result of some backdoor patch up between the NC and the BJP," said a senior NC leader.
Media speculations started when Omar Abdullah responded warmly to Ravinder Raina's Twitter comments that among the politicians of J&K, Omar is the jewel in the crown.
Raina also said that when he was suffering from Covid infection, Omar was the first to ask his welfare.
