As the BJP campaigns for upcoming Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized the party's commitment to forming a government, citing significant reductions in terrorism and improved development over the past decade. During a youth rally in Pulwama, BJP leaders, including Dr. Syed Darakhshan Andrabi, expressed confidence in their candidate Arshid Bhat, asserting that the party has gained substantial youth support and positioning itself as a viable alternative to dynastic politics. Union Minister Jitendra Singh reiterated the need for a BJP-led government to ensure transparent governance and maximize the region's development potential, criticizing past administrations for political exploitation of Article 370. Shah noted that the abrogation of Article 370 has led to increased rights for marginalized communities and improved educational and health facilities in the region. The BJP aims to leverage its development narrative as a cornerstone of its campaign against opposition parties, which it accuses of hindering progress. The elections are set for September 18, 25, and October 1, marking a critical moment for the BJP's ambitions in the region.
