Play all audios:


Hitting out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his "would not take much time for UP to become Kashmir, Kerala, and Bengal" barb, National Conference leader Omar


Abdullah on Thursday, 10 February, said the former should consider himself lucky, as Jammu & Kashmir had less poverty, less crime, and better human development indices. Abdullah's


comments came hours after Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that UP would enjoy better amenities and facilities if it turned into Kerala. "He should be so lucky. J&K has


less poverty, better human development indices, less crime & generally better standards of living than UP. What we lack is good governance over the last 3-4 years but that is a temporary


phenomenon [sic]," Omar Abdullah tweeted on Thursday. > He should be so lucky. J&K has less poverty, better human > development indices, less crime & generally better

living standards and have a harmonious society in which people won't be murdered in the name of religion and caste. That's what the people of UP would want." > If UP turns

in Hindi. WHAT HAD YOGI ADITYANATH SAID? Ahead of polling in the state, Adityanath had credited his government with "a lot of wonderful things," which he claimed, "have


happened in these five years under the double engine government." He went on to attack other states and say: > "I have to tell you something that is there in my heart. You have

results will be announced on 10 March. ‘YOUR TIME IS UP’: CONGRESS Meanwhile, Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor said in a tweet, "UP will turn into Kashmir, Bengal or


Kerala if BJP doesn't come to power, @myogiadityanath tells voters. UP should be so lucky!! Kashmir's beauty, Bengal's culture & Kerala's education would do wonders


for the place. UP's wonderful: pity about its Govt. (sic)" Further, Congress leader KC Venugopal said, "Gentle reminder Dear Yogi ji!! Kerala is as much an integral part of


India as is UP, as is J&K, as is TN, as is West Bengal, as is Rajasthan, as are all States." He added: > "Stop dividing our people on the basis of region and religion simply

Wise voters will vote today to prevent their state from becoming a Syria or Afghanistan! Youth and women who want safety, education and jobs will reject you. Stop blabbering and apologise


for making UP a lawless and backward state." > Mr.Shame-of-a-Yogi, your time is up. Wise voters will vote today to > prevent their state from becoming a Syria or Afghanistan!
