Omar Abdullah hints Mamata Banerjee can be the PM candidate of anti-BJP front

Echoing Banerjee, Abdullah, a former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, said it was too early to choose the Opposition's prime ministerial candidate.
"Our main focus should be to come together and put up a good fight against the BJP and then, we can decide on that," he added.
"I think all the regional parties, all the political parties who are against the BJP are working together. Maybe one or two parties may not as they have their states' compulsions, but a majority of them are working together. Our intention is very clear," Banerjee said.
The TMC chief has been a vocal critic of the BJP and has been espousing a "one-on-one" fight by the opposition parties against the saffron party, instead of contesting against each other in the coming general election.
Alleging that the BJP-led government at the Centre was planning a presidential mode of election in the Lok Sabha polls, Banerjee said the saffron party was acting "like a dictator" and all the anti-BJP parties should come together and "sacrifice" to save the country from it.
"We (anti-BJP parties) cannot tolerate this. Let us sacrifice everything for the country. We cannot sacrifice our people. So let us fight for the people and this will ultimately be the 2019 government of the people, by the people and for the people," she added.
