BJP ends alliance with PDP in J-K

19 Jun 2018 Evaluate

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pulled out of alliance with Mehbooba Mufti's People Democratic Party (PDP) in Jammu and Kashmir. BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav announced that ‘we have taken a decision, it is untenable for BJP to continue in alliance with PDP in Jammu and Kashmir, hence we are withdrawing.’

The differences between the BJP and the PDP cropped up following the governments' decision to resume anti-terror operations in the state, which were suspended during Ramzan. Madhav further added that terrorism, violence and radicalisation have risen and fundamental rights of the citizens are under danger in the Valley. Shujaat Bukhari's killing is an example. The PDP had 25 MLAs in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, while the BJP had 25.
