New Delhi: Unfazed by the sharp reactions from Kashmiri leaders, BJP president Amit Shah on Thursday reiterated that the party would remove Article 370 that gives special status to Kashmir “after forming the next BJP government” at the Centre.
He was stressing the party’s manifesto, that promises to scrap Article 370 if it comes back to power. “We would remove Article 370 from Kashmir after forming the next BJP government at the Centre.” he said, while campaigning in Kalimpong.
He also criticised West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for questioning the Balakot air strikes, which he alleged was done to “appease” the minority vote bank. He asked the Trinamool supremo to come clean on whether she, too, wants a separate Prime Minister for Kashmir, just like her ally and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah.
