"We (BJP) have consistently said that there is a nexus between Pakistan and the NC, the Congress and the PDP, and this has been proven after Pakistan Defense Minister Khawaja Asif's statement," Reddy told reporters here.

He further claimed that the NC, Congress and People's Democratic Party (PDP), under the influence of Pakistan, aim to push J&K back into an era of terrorism, hartals, bandhs and riots by advocating restoration of Article 370.

"These parties do not want to see development in J&K. Their only objective is to remain in power at any cost, even if it means seeking help from Pakistan...Jammu and Kashmir will be governed by Dr B R Ambedkar's Constitution, not by Jinnah's constitution," he said.

Reddy emphasized that the BJP, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, put J&K on the path of development and restored peace by abrogating Article 370 on August 5, 2019.
