Plan +44: After the success of Mission 272+, BJP targets 44-plus seats in Jammu and Kashmir

“These are realities the BJP is working on to realize its ჸ plan,” said a senior Congress leader who obviously did not want to be named.

With Modi in power at the centre, the BJP believes it would make mincemeat of its rivals in the Jammu region, which accounts for 37 seats. (The Kashmir Valley has 46 seats and Ladakh four).

Whether or not the BJP is able to realize its lofty dream of getting 44 seats, the fact remains it has emerged as a force to reckon with in the Jammu region.

Heady on the wine of success, the spirits are already running high among the rank and file of the BJP in Jammu and Kashmir.
