Article 370 will never take U-turn
On September 6, the BJP released its manifesto for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls and asserted that Article 370 has become history and will never make a comeback in the Union territory. During a press conference, the BJP leader stated that the last 10-year period will be written in golden letters in the history of the country and J&K, and urged people to vote his party to power to continue good governance. He also added that terrorism will be completely eradicated from Jammu and Kashmir. 'A white paper will be issued to fix the responsibility of those involved in the emergence of terrorism in J&K,' he added.
Shah reached Jammu earlier in the day on a two-day visit to kickstart the BJP's campaign for the assembly polls scheduled to be held in three phases on September 18, 25 and October 1.
