Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said the euphoria in BJP over roping in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's "unknown" brother Daljit Singh Kohli showed mind-boggling logic at work.

"The PM weakens the UPA, yet somehow we are to believe that his unknown brother will strengthen BJP. Mind-boggling logic at work here!" Omar wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Referring to BJP's criticism of Dr Singh as a weak Prime Minister, Mr Omar said the national opposition party cannot have it both ways.

"The BJP goes to town calling the PM irrelevant, yet makes a song and dance of his brother joining them. How can they have it both ways?" he questioned.

Dr Singh's half-brother, Daljit Singh Kohli, yesterday joined BJP in the presence of its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
