SRINAGAR — In a sharp political escalation, the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) has alleged that the recent departure of the Srinagar Member of Parliament was engineered by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as part of a calculated strategy known as Operation Lotus.
This unfolding controversy underscores the volatile nature of local alliances and the fierce competition for legislative influence in the Union Territory. The term 'Operation Lotus' has frequently been used by regional and national opposition parties to describe alleged concerted efforts by the ruling central administration to induce defections and reshape state or territorial assemblies in its favor.
According to reports by the Times of India, senior NC leadership voiced deep condemnation over the political maneuver, characterizing it as an assault on democratic norms and the mandate given by local voters. Representatives from the opposing camp have yet to officially address the specific allegations of orchestrating the exit, maintaining that political realignments are reflective of individual choices and shifting regional dynamics.
