Speaking to media, as per news agency—Kashmir Bulletin (KB), Abdullah lambasted the party for not having any Muslim ministers and termed it ‘a clear signal by the BJP that it has little regard for minority interests’.

Abdullah said this in response to a visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Doda, where Modi campaigned for BJP candidates.
