Srinagar:\u00a0<\/strong>Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, Omar Abdullah has said \u201cThe day BJP gets majority in Jammu and Kashmir (Assembly elections), I will take retirement from active politics and go into hibernation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar was responding to reporters in Doda district on BJP\u2019s mission of getting 44+ seats in the state Assembly elections which is expected to be held by year end.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not want to see that day nor will that day come in the future, \u201cOmar said.<\/p>\n

In reply to a question on fighting the polls without ally Congress, he said, \u201cNo such decision has been taken as yet. But the truth is that in both the parties, voices are raising the pitch that elections should be fought separately.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my party, there are most of the people who do not want that elections should be fought in alliance with Congress. But the final decision would be taken by Dr Farooq Abdullah (president of the party). But I do not feel that he will be able to reject the demand of the party workers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the meeting between Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad and PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed in Srinagar, Omar said, \u201cAsk this question to Azad or Mufti. But my take is that if there is meeting to be held, why to go for secret meeting? Just go and hold an open meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day I will have to hold meeting with Mufti I will go and meet him in his residence publicly. Secret meeting does not give a good signal (within the coalition government),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The NC leader also hit out at Congress for breaking the \u2018coalition dharma\u2019 by holding meetings in his party\u2019s areas.<\/p>\n
