On Sunday, BJP President Amit Shah lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "56-inch chest man" for nullifying Article 370 and integrating Jammu and Kashmir with the mainstream, further sharpening the BJP's narrative for Maharashtra assembly polls on nationalism. Addressing an election rally in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra, he said the previous governments never had the strength Modi had shown. He called on people to ask the leaders of Congress and the NCP, when they come to seek votes, if they support the decision of the NDA government to revoke the provisions that gave Jammu and Kashmir special status.
After the country's people and Maharashtra voted for him for the second term, Modiji did something that the whole country had been waiting for 70 years for,. he abrogated Article 370 on August 5 and entered Jammu and Kashmir with the mainstream of the nation, "Shah said.
