BJP Weighs Plan B for J&K Government Formation

In a surprising turn of events, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is reportedly working on a backup plan to ensure its grip on Jammu and Kashmir’s government. With the state elections approaching and no clear majority in sight, the party is strategizing alternative ways to secure power, even if coalition talks with smaller regional parties hit roadblocks.

According to senior party leaders, the BJP's "Plan B" revolves around forming strategic post-election alliances, possibly with independent candidates and smaller local parties. These efforts are designed to keep the party’s influence intact amid growing political uncertainties in the region.

Rumors of this Plan B began circulating after key coalition talks with potential partners appeared to stall last week. While the BJP remains confident of its performance in the upcoming elections, party insiders acknowledge that backup options are necessary if things don’t go as expected.

Sources within the party suggest that while the BJP's first preference is to secure a strong mandate on its own, leaders are preparing to pivot swiftly to alliance-building if needed. The move comes as the political atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir remains highly volatile, following the abrogation of Article 370 and the region's transition to a Union Territory.

BJP spokespersons have neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such plans, though officials maintain the party is prepared for any outcome. With election day drawing near, all eyes remain on how the BJP's strategy will unfold in this pivotal political contest.
