Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today took a dig at BJP ministers in the PDP-BJP coalition government, saying they swore allegiance to the same Constitution of the state which their party ideologue Shyama Prasad Mookerjee died trying to get rid of.
"BJP Ministers swearing allegiance to the same constitution of J&K that Shyama Prasad Mukherjee (sic) died trying to get rid of," Mr Abdullah said in a tweet, even as he congratulated new chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on assuming charge.

In a series of messages on Twitter, Mr Abdullah also mocked Ashraf Ghani Mir.
"Ashraf was the same person who fired an AK47 to celebrate when he beat me. What the hell will he fire today to celebrate becoming minister".
"Congratulations to the newly sworn in Ministers of J&K. All good wishes for the discharge of your duties," the National Conference leader tweeted, adding a personal message for Mr Sayeed.
"Congratulations to Mufti Mohd Syed Sb on assuming the office of CM of J&K. I wish you all the very best for your term as CM."
The alliance which had been termed by Mr Sayeed as "bringing together of North Pole and South Pole" in terms of ideologies, formed the government after 49 days of Governor's Rule.
