Celebrating low cunning in Jammu & Kashmir

BJP is attempting to convert the political discourse in J&K to "Hindu Jammu" vs. "Muslim Kashmir" and in the rest of India as between "Hindu nationalists" vs. "Anti-nationals"

If the BJP had to pull the plug on its government in alliance with the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), there were many more moments in the past two years when the security situation made it seriously more “untenable” than at this time. The turbulence in 2016 following the killing of Burhan Wani was such a moment and there have been others since then. 

So was this just bad timing? Or should the nation know by now that the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah team always has a cunning plan up its sleeve especially if it can be made to yield electoral dividends.
