By withdrawing support from PDP in Kashmir BJP wants to correct its past blunder and keep the annoying cadre happy

The sudden withdrawal of support from the PDP government by the Bhartiya Janata Party has stunned the chief minister Mehbooba Mufti who did’nt had the inkling of doubt about such a disastrous fate of her and the party she represents till today.

Till yesterday, every thing was going normal as far as the guarantee of the safety of her political saddle was concerned.

A lady chief minister allegedly, always soft and sympathised towards the aggressive stone pelters on Indian Army Jawans and officers and even Pak sponsored terrorists having an imbalanced bent of mind, not honest as a secularist exhibited her doubtful credentials the day she chose the saffron party as her collaborator.

Similarly, always talking of abolishing article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir since ages, the saffron party which boasts itself as the party of the Hindus took no time to prove itself an opportunist when it pleasingly shook hands with Mehbooba showing no signs of any remorse till three years.

The PDP BJP government ruled the state for more than three years despite so much of criticism terming it as an opportunist and power hungry alliance by the entire opposition and the progressive media.

What did the alliance achieved during the last three years? The answer is unambiguously very ugly, traumatising, shocking and anguishing. More than five hundred casualties of Indian army troopers and officers including good number of civilians. Rape and murder of minors like Asifa and increase in consistent terror attacks. The incidents of stone pelting and killings by militants went on an unabated spree.

On the developmental front the alliance government had achieved literally nothing but only abductions and bloodsheds. If such was the deteriorating situation in the strife torn Kashmir what was the point for the BJP to have an alliance with PDP having been always soft towards stone pelters and the Pak sponsored terrorists including the separatists who are always at the mercy of the latter.

It was the BJP government of the centre who aceded to the Mehbooba’s request for ceasefire during Ramzan that lead to several deaths of our soldiers and paramilitary troopers including brutal killings of eminent journalist Shujaat Bukhari and young Armymen Aurangzeb.

Mehbooba still insisted on extending the ceasefire and was against the restoration of anti terrorist counter operation. The nation and its security comes first than anything else. The way, situation in Kashmir is going out of hand and Pak as well as the ISI sponsored terrorists killing civilians and army personels, the Indian government has no option but to retaliate and kill as much as militants they can.

But Mehbooba is still soft on them as are the separatist Hurriyats. The withdrawal of support seemed to be imminent and inevitable for the BJP.

The 2019 elections are round the corner and the union government led by prime minister Narendra Modi has come under questions after so much of casualties in J& K as well as on our borders at the behest of the Pak sponsorsed terrorists.

The saffron party which had committed a grave mistake three years ago by forging an alliance with PDP was confronting tremendous brick bats from the entire opposition as well from within the party for this most unholy alliance.

Had it not been withdrawn now it would have further suffered badly at the hands of the majority community on whose vote bank it primarily wins at the hustings, viz the Hindus.

Sources reveal that the pressure from RSS has been the main reason for the withdrawal of support from the PDP.

The maximum damage suffered by BJP due to this alliance has already been reflected in the recent losses the saffron party suffered at the hands of the majority community in various byelections where the vote of the majority community has deflected away from the BJP to a great extent compelling the party to come to the conclusion its shifting stand from Hindutva to appeasing the minorities on the lines of the progressive parties like Congress or so has cost the party quite adversely.

This withdrawal of support while on the one hand would keep the state under the governor’s rule till 2019’s national election to effectively counter terrorism and deal with Pakistan with a heavy hand, on the other hand it will also send across the message that the party has now resurrected itself from the past blunder of forging an alliance with Mufti Mehbooba n PDP which had degraded its image poitically on the national sceneraio, annoying its saffron cadre and rank and file.
