Shiv Sena Thursday trained all guns towards BJP and said that history will never forgive the party for its “greed” for power in Jammu and Kashmir .
The Sena even compared the move to the way Britishers “decamped” from India.
Jammu and Kashmir was yesterday placed under Governor’s rule for the fourth time in the last one decade after the BJP withdrew support to its alliance partner PDP, prompting Mehbooba Mufti to resign as the chief minister.
“The BJP opted out of power in Kashmir after spreading anarchy in the valley,” the Sena alleged in an editorial in party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.
“The situation had never deteriorated to this extent there, rivers of blood had never flown so extensively and never had so many jawans lost their lives before,” said the BJP’s ally at the Centre and in Maharashtra.
All this happened during the BJP’s rule in the valley. However, PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti was blamed and the saffron party opted out of power like a gentleman, it quipped.
“The government in Kashmir was formed due to greed (of the BJP). The country, jawans and people of Kashmir had to pay a heavy price for this greediness. Thus, history will never forgive the BJP for this,” the Marathi publication said.
