BJP under attack in The Valley

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has virtually no stakes in the Kashmir Valley as far as elections are concerned. And yet, the party is drawing flak from its former ally — Farooq Abdullah-led National Conference (NC). First, it was Abdullah who sought to call LK Advani’s claim about not being known of the terrorist swap in Kandahar during the NDA regime as a bluff. To top it, another NC leader, Ali Mohammad Sagar, has blamed BJP for propping up the Peoples’ Democratic Party which had ended NC’s five-decade monopoly in Kashmir.
