Significance
Meanwhile, the nationally ruling, Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s policy agenda for the restive, majority-Muslim state includes scrapping its special constitutional status and possibly reshaping its electoral boundaries.
Impacts
BJP attempts to revoke Article 370 and Article 35A of the constitution would attract opposition in parliament and in Jammu and Kashmir.
The BJP’s delimitation plans for Jammu and Kashmir would likely pave the way for the state to have its first Hindu chief minister.
Pakistan will appeal to other majority-Muslim countries to support its position on Kashmir.
