NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday pulls out of alliance with Mehbooba Mufti’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Jammu & Kashmir.
Speaking to reporters, Ram Madhav said, “We have taken a decision, it is untenable for BJP to continue in alliance with PDP in Jammu & Kashmir, hence we are withdrawing. Terrorism, violence and radicalisation have risen and fundamental rights of the citizens are under danger in the Valley. Journalist Shujaat Bukhari’s killing is an example.”
Minutes after the news of BJP-PDP break-up announced, social media users took the humorous route mocking the saffron party. Check out the Twitterati reactions:
I thought #BJP will remove 370 someday.
Instead they removed themselves.

The BJP has pulled out of J&K alliance only to get a freer hand to take rhetoric about Pakistan-Kashmir-Muslims to new pitch in countdown to 2019. Make no mistake, its about electoral strategy for rest of country. My heart goes out to people of Kashmir…

Glad #BJPPDP alliance ended. No way to run a state. Things are going out of control there and we haven't been able to do anything about it. Time for total rethink on Kashmir and doing what it takes to fix the problem.

For 3 yrs, these liars kept telling us that Terrorism, violence is going down, DeMo destroyed the terrorists backbone.
Now, same liars are telling us that terrorism and violence has increased and that's the reason for breaking the alliance. #BJPdumpsPDP

The Congress on Tuesday ruled out the possibility of a coalition with the Peoples Democratic Alliance (PDP), making Governor’s rule look imminent in Jammu and Kashmir.
