| BJP leaders talk about polls again | | | The Jammu and Kashmir unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying to send a message to people that delimitation will be held soon and assembly elections in the newly carved out Union Territory of J&K could be held by October this year.
But people are not ready to believe what the BJP leaders are saying. There is a big reason for it. Soon after J&K's transition from the State into a Union Territory in October last year, most of the BJP leaders in Jammu and Kashmir announced that delimitation process would begin within a few days and elections are in the offing. But neither was the delimitation announced nor did the Centre drop any hint about holding assembly elections in J&K. The only people talking about the polls in J&K UT are the BJP leaders, who had to leave the power at once in 2018.
The BJP's high command had given a zor-ka-jhatka to its old ally Peoples Democratic Party in June 2018 by pulling out from the coalition government in J&K. Not only the PDP, the BJP ministers in the erstwhile State of J&K too were left high and dry after the BJP National General Secretary Ram Madhav announced that his party is no more a part of the government led by Mehbooba Mufti in Jammu and Kashmir.
Now these BJP leaders are hoping for things to move so that they can once again return to the power corridors and pick up the strings from where they had left in 2018. Most BJP leaders in J&K are trying to tell the people that next Chief Minister of J&K will be a Hindu from Jammu region. Since 1947, no Hindu from Jammu region ever got a chance to hold the top office in J&K. The Kashmir centric politicians had kept the Chief Minister's post reserved for them as they never allowed delimitation to be held in a proper way. Kashmir always used to have more assembly seats than Jammu region. This factor allowed Kashmir centric politicians to rule J&K for the past 70-years.
The delimitation is all set to end this discrimination with Jammu region and once the delimitation is completed Jammu and Kashmir will have equal number of assembly seats. Chances about J&K having a chief minister from Jammu region also look bright. But it's not necessary that the new CM will be from the BJP. Many parties have emerged in Jammu region since 2018 and these can easily turn the tables on the BJP. |
