BJP sends legal notice to CM Omar Abdullah over 'Rs 30 crore offer' claim

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday (July 13, 2026) said he feels honoured to have received a "love letter" in the form of a legal notice from the BJP, as it proves that he is a political force they cannot ignore.

The Jammu and Kashmir unit of the BJP on Monday (July 13) served a legal notice to CM Abdullah over his claim that the national party had attempted to bribe National Conference legislators with cash and ministerial berths in a bid to topple his government.

"I have received a letter from a lawyer, an electronic copy. I consider this a great honour as I am the only politician in Jammu and Kashmir to have been bestowed with a love letter like this by the BJP. I consider it a mark of respect that I am obviously a political force in Jammu and Kashmir that they cannot ignore," CM Abdullah told reporters at the National Conference (NC) headquarters Srinagar.
