Srinagar, Dec 12 (IBNS): Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be blamed for the defeat of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the assembly polls in three states.

"Congratulations to the Congress & especially to its leader @RahulGandhi for the great success in these elections. He took the blame & the brickbats for all the set backs & now deserves the credit for these victories. It was nice to have something to celebrate on counting day," Abdullah tweeted.

"And for my friends in the BJP - you can’t blame @RahulGandhi for losing elections & not apply the same yardstick to Modi ji. If those were Rahul’s losses then these 3 heartland state losses belong to the Prime Minister & his policies," he said.
