Mehbooba Mufti Reveals Untold Story of 2015 PDP-BJP Alliance

In a startling disclosure, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has shared never-before-heard details about the 2015 PDP-BJP alliance, revealing the complex negotiations and tough decisions that shaped the political landscape of the state.

Speaking candidly for the first time, Mufti opened up about the behind-the-scenes discussions that took place between her party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP), and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The alliance, which was formed after months of intense deliberations, aimed to bring stability to the state but was viewed with skepticism by many, given the ideological differences between the two parties.

According to Mufti, the alliance was forged on the principle of safeguarding the interests of Jammu and Kashmir. "It was not an easy decision," she said, explaining how the PDP had to make certain compromises to ensure that the special status of the state was protected. She also hinted at external pressures that influenced the formation of the alliance, though she stopped short of naming specific individuals or groups.

The revelation comes at a critical time, with the political environment in Jammu and Kashmir undergoing significant changes after the abrogation of Article 370. Mufti’s statements have reignited debates over the alliance and its long-term impact on the region.

Political analysts believe this could lead to renewed scrutiny of the PDP's decisions during that period, with possible ramifications for upcoming elections in the state.
