India, Dec. 7 -- A day after Omar Abdullah raised questioned on the opposition INDIA bloc and remaked on alliance's health, both the ruling BJP and an opposition ally have reacted to the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister's statement.

Omar Abdullah, while speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, said the opposition bloc is currently "on life support" and raised questions on the health of the INDIA bloc of opposition parties at the national level.

"We're sort of on life support, but every once in a while, somebody brings out his paddles and gives us a bit of a shock, and we get up again. But then, unfortunately, results like Bihar happen, and we slump down again, and then somebody has to wheel us into the ICU," Abdullah had said....
