Hindu chief minister as a bunch of PDP MLAs will support BJP, soon after Amarnath Yatra ends?

From Ghulam Mohammed Sadiq to Mehbooba Mufti, the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India as any other state, had never got a Hindu Chief Minister even though the last ruler of the state was Maharaja Hari Singh who was the victim of Nehru and Sheikh Abdulla’s conspiracy.

Soon after India got its Independence from the British, Jammu and Kashmir had a separate Prime Minister. Yes, two Chief Ministers for a nation; sounds weird right. From 15 October 1947 to 30 March 1965, the terror struck state was ruled by its own Prime Ministers.

But on 30 March 1965, Ghulam Mohammed Sadiq from Indian National Congress became the first Chief Minister of J&K. But surprisingly, this state never got a Hindu Chief Minister even though 28.4% follow Hinduism. In the Jammu region, a whopping 62.55% people follow Hinduism. When BJP formed the government in 2014, few had even cried that a Hindu leader should not be made the Chief Minister of the state.

Jammu and Kashmir will get its first Hindu Chief Minister?

A sensational development has now taken place in Jammu and Kashmir and it is expected that a big announcement would be made soon after the Amarnath Yatra ends. Yes, a faction of PDP MLAs who are not happy with Mehbooba Mufti is in talks with the BJP to form a government.This development was hinted by a senior BJP leader who also a minister in the recent J&K government. He stated “Nobody is willing to face elections and nobody wants to sit out of power for a quarter to three years. We have made the necessary arrangements. If all goes well with the Amarnath Yatra, we may make an announcement sometime in late August or early September”.

Statement of another BJP leader also hinted the same as he said “Yes, we discussed government formation. It’s true. We are looking at all possibilities. Maidan Khaali hai (The field is empty). Everyone is looking for possibilities. Everything seems possible right now. Let’s wait for the yatra to get over”.

Not just this, the man who played a key role in forming the BJP-PDP alliance in Jammu and Kashmir, Ram Madhav, had also held meetings with BJP MLAs at the residence of Sajjad Lone’s residence. Lone was the first Kashmiri to support the BJP.

Lone who is an Ex-Kashmiri separatist had praised PM Modi and said “I cannot tell you how humble he is. He was talking as if I was the Prime Minister and not him. It was like two brothers talking to each other”.
