Regional parties' clout has weakened: Omar


New Delhi, May 22 (IANS): The Lok Sabha election result has weakened the regional parties' in New Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said Thursday.

"It must feel so strange for regional leaders with 30 plus MPs to have no say in Delhi. Earlier they would sneeze and the centre would catch a cold," Abdullah said on Twitter.

"Hopefully foreign policy, water sharing agreements and things like these can be dictated by what is in the national interest, now onwards," he added.

Abdullah's National Conference, which had three MPs in the outgoing Lok Sabha, won no parliamentary seat in Jammu and Kashmir this time.
