BJP playing safe’ by not contesting Anantnag-Rajouri seat in Valley
The Morning Standard
|April 30, 2024
IS BJP playing strategically safe by surrendering the highstake Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat in J&K and not contesting two other parliamentary constituencies in the Valley, where the dominant sentiment is still in favour of Article 370.
After the creation of Anantnag-Rajouri LS seat by the Delimitation Commission by adding border districts of Poonch and Rajouri to Jammu province with south Kashmir's Kulgam, Anantnag and Shopian district, it was felt that BJP will enter Valley through this seat.
That is why the twin border districts were connected with erstwhile south Kashmir's Anantnag Lok Sabha seat.
The BJP did all the good things to pose a strong challenge to the Valley-based parties, especially the National Conference and the PDP. The Modi government granted political reservation to the Gujjars and Bakerwals and also granted 10% reservation to the influential Paharis and three other communities.
