Will Azad’s ‘hardline politics’ play in BJP’s favour?

New Delhi: Ghulam Nabi Azad has not only announced floating a party but has declared the agenda of his party and it has become clear as to what will be his election strategy? He will do politics by taking hard line. Just as other regional parties of Kashmir Valley i.e. National Conference, PDP, Apni Party etc. are doing politics in the same way Azad’s party will also do politics. Though there is a perception that he will be BJP’s B team and is forming a political party to benefit the BJP, but his agenda will be ‘hard line’, only then he will be able to get votes in Kashmir Valley. If he also carried on with BJP’s agenda, he will get votes neither in Jammu nor in the Valley. He will have to show with his agenda and campaign that he is not BJP’s B team, but is fighting BJP as well.

That’s when he told three agendas of the party in his rally before announcing the party. Azad told that he will work to restore the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir. This is not an agenda as the government has said that it will restore statehood. Jammu and Kashmir is not going to be a union territory till eternity. The only question is whether statehood will be restored before the assembly elections or will it happen after that. But the next two agendas are considered ‘hard-line’. He said that his party will ensure that only people of Jammu and Kashmir get jobs in the state and only local people can buy land. That is, outsiders can neither buy land nor do jobs. This is the agenda of parties like PDP and National Conference. But this will not happen because then the purpose of abolishing Article 370 and 35A will not be fulfilled. Azad also knows this, yet he will do politics on these issues to claim himself as the messiah of the Muslims of the valley. He knows that only then they will get votes and he will be able to fulfill the purpose of BJP to some extent.
