BJP’s ‘Operation Lotus’ Succeeded in Kashmir with Ruhullah’s Help, Says NC | Capital TV

The political landscape in Jammu and Kashmir witnessed major turmoil on Wednesday when the National Conference launched a scathing attack against prominent leader Syed Aga Ruhullah Mehdi. Just a day prior, the Srinagar Member of Parliament announced his resignation, effectively ending his long-standing 24-year association with the party. Addressing the media, party representatives made serious allegations, claiming that Ruhullah's exit and subsequent moves directly aided the Bharatiya Janata Party's strategic political maneuvers in the region, often referred to as 'Operation Lotus'. This high-profile fallout marks a significant turning point in regional politics, coming at a crucial time for the union territory. The sudden departure of such a senior and influential leader has sent shockwaves through party ranks, potentially altering political alignments and equations across the Kashmir valley as opposition parties react to the shifting loyalties and ongoing developments.
