India, Oct. 27 -- Campaigning for the Budgam byelection, opposition PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday accused Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of abandoning the constituency after winning the assembly election last year.

"Before the assembly polls, he (Omar) had said that he would retain the seat where he would get more votes. However, he left Budgam even after getting more votes from here," Mufti said at a public meeting for PDP candidate Aga Syed Muntazir Mehdi in Budgam.
