BJP not in the fray in valley, then why campaigning?

The BJP is not contesting any of the three valley seats -Srinagar, Baramulla and Anantnag - in the Lok Sabha polls but political analysts are puzzled, why the party is campaigning in these areas. It is the first major electoral exercise in Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370, and the party is engaged in a door-to-door campaign against the National Conference (NC) and the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Party insiders say that it is a calculated tactic for the upcoming Assembly polls in the state. Also, the party is favouring candidates of like-minded parties. The BJP is supporting the Jammu and Kashmir Apni party led by Altaf Bukhari. The party was founded on March 8, 2020 and it is a group that separated from the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party. The BJP held a roadshow in uptown Srinagar two days ago, from Jawahar Nagar area to Rawathpora area of Barzulla. The roadshow was part of a larger campaign by the BJP to support candidates from like-minded parties, party spokesman Sajid Yousuf Shah said. In Srinagar seat, polling was held on May 13 while Baramulla will vote on May 20 and Anantnag on May 25.
