Omar Abdullah questions Modi's handling of J&K amid lowest voter turnout in ULB polls

Srinagar, Oct 13 (UNI) Taking a dig at the opposition parties for their inability to question the NDA led government at the Centre, for the lowest voter turnout in the recent polls in the valley, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah alleged that the disastrous handling of Kashmir by the Centre has almost gone unquestioned.
The former CM was reacting to reports about a mere one per cent voter turnout being recorded in Srinagar, where the wards of Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), spread over three main assembly segments of Amira Kadal, Khanyar and Eidgah, which went to polls on Saturday under heavy security arrangements.
Taking to the micro blogging site Twitter, the vice president of the National Conference (NC) said, “From the highest turnouts since 1987 in 2014 to the lowest turnouts ever recorded in 2018, why is the Modi government able to get away with its disastrous handling of Kashmir almost unquestioned?”.
