Playing a regional chord to virtually kickstart his party’s campaign for 2019 Lok Sabha elections may be the priority of BJP Chief Amit Shah but doing so is unbecoming of a national leaders who heads a party which rules the country with a brute majority in parliament. Amit Shah saying that his party can’t continue alliance with a party which denies equal share shows his intents of coming down to the level of fighting regional players on a low key issue like equitable development instead of taking head on the political parties of national level on national issues like dis-engagement with Pakistan, border skirmishes on LoC and International border in Jammu & Kashmir and rising prices of petroleum products and essential commodities across the country. Issue of equitable development Jammu is too small an issue even for the regional party like National Panthers Party in Jammu. If at all equitable development for Jammu is an issue of serious concern for the BJP the party’s national president Amit Shah has to himself own the failures of his ministers than to put the blame on the ally PDP. Before alleging corruption charges against National Conference and Congress the BJP Chief should have dared to coming down to grass roots to get a feeds from the local population of Jammu region about the working of BJP ministers.

Before trying to take head on his political rivals on corruption charges in Jammu & Kashmir better it would be for BJP Amit Shah to take stock of the working of his own ministers and legislators during last three years of PDP-BJP coalition rule in Jammu & Kashmir as otherwise striking a regional chord is unbecoming of a national leader who heads a party which rules the country with a brute majority since last four years.

BJP Chief Amit Shah himself knows about the attempts of his party men to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere in Jammu region by allowing the cow vigilantism to rise at a faster rate in muslim dominated parts of the Pir Panchal area of Jammu division. A party trying to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere for three long years ceases the right to allege discrimination in the development in the same region. Better would it would have been for Amit Shah to take stock of the expenditure of the constituency development funds by his legislators and parliament members in Jammu region and this could have help him to know all about the working of the elected representatives of his own party. Even in last ministerial reshuffle Amit Shah has allowed retention of some such ministers of his party about the public perception in Jammu is that they have broken all previous records of nepotism and corruption. Before trying to take head on his political rivals on corruption charges in Jammu & Kashmir better it would be for BJP Amit Shah to take stock of the working of his own ministers and legislators during last three years of PDP-BJP coalition rule in Jammu & Kashmir as otherwise striking a regional chord is unbecoming of a national leader who heads a party which rules the country with a brute majority since last four years.
