# Ruhullah accuses BJP, questions J&K government performance 2026-10-22T16:32:53+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Srinagar MP Syed Aga Ruhullah Mehdi on Tuesday, 20 October accused the BJP of creating a hostile environment for Kashmiris both within Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere, citing verification, movement restrictions and the Karnal incident. He said the situation had not normalised since 2019 and alleged that Kashmir instead faced polarisation. Ruhullah also questioned the performance of the J&K government on employment, reservation, electricity and protection of local jobs. He called for concrete institutional efforts to reverse the abrogation of Article 370, describing the decision of 5 August 2019 as wrong. On electoral accountability, he demanded criminal proceedings against the Chief Election Commissioner if allegations were established. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Greater Kashmir leads with Ruhullah's accusation against the BJP of creating hostility, while Rising Kashmir leads with his questioning of the J&K government's performance.
