Srinagar, June 7:
National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Friday said the days of dictatorship are over and the opposition will be strong in the new Lok Sabha. The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said the people have given their verdict and the Constitution has been saved.
Responding to a question, Farooq Abdullah told reporters here, “This time there will be a strong opposition. When I was in Parliament, we were weak. No one used to listen to us and there was dictatorship, but thank God that dictatorship is over now.”
When asked about the NDA forming the government for the third consecutive time, Farooq Abdullah said, “Let them form the government, then we will see.” When asked if the new NDA government will succeed, Abdullah said, “We should wait and see what happens.”
He said, “People have the power and it has been proved in these elections. This is a big achievement. People have the power to vote and they can make or break anyone.”
