No one may acknowledge it, but the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections are a true test of Amit Shah's political acumen. After the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, Shah has employed every tactic to dismantle the old political order in the newly reorganized Jammu and Kashmir. Electoral constituencies were redrawn with precise calculations, accounting for caste-based demographics. He orchestrated defections and weakened powerful leaders of the National Conference. In the Lok Sabha elections, Shah used Engineer Rashid to defeat Omar Abdullah, creating the perception that new political forces were emerging in the Valley. The traditional family-run parties of the Abdullahs and Muftis were being challenged by fresh leadership, with figures like Engineer Rashid and Sajad Lone being projected as the new faces of a "New Kashmir."
