Omar praised Congress chief Sonia Gandhi for supporting him and his government in the last six years and criticised certain Congress leaders, including PCC Saifuddin Soz, who "never let NC settle" in the state.
"I will be very surprised to see if people vote for BJP in Valley. They will get a handful of votes. A trickle here and trickle there. There will be no significant impact (of BJP in the Valley)," he told Karan Thapar in an interview on Headlines Today news channel.
Omar said his government has taken various pro-development initiatives in its tenure. "Militancy is at the lowest in last six years. There has been a fair amount of development. There is positive feedback from various parts of the state," Omar said.
To a question on Sonia Gandhi's recent criticism of the state government for not implementing the Food Security Act (FSA), which was implemented by the UPA government, he said the people around her had given wrong impression on the matter.
"JK is the only state in the country that would have suffered on account of FSA. Most unfortunate part is the people around Sonia Gandhi are well aware of this fact," he said.
Omar said former minister Ambika Soni had pleaded before her cabinet colleague K V Thomas that JK should not suffer on this account.
