B R V Shanbhag (Bangalore)

The people of Jammu & Kashmir should understand that all these years, they had very little, now they should vote for change. There’s nothing to lose.

Deeksha (Begumpet)

For a lasting solution, the central government should not only repeal Article 370, it should also create three states out of J&K. This will go a long way in preventing the rampant misuse of central funds and promote good governance.

M M Garg (California)

Article 370 separates J&K from the country. Former PM J L N Nehru had said that it would be gradually diluted and finally withdrawn, but now people in J&K say it is their fundamental right. No harm if BJP forms a government with PDP, at least this would expose who has benefited most from Article 370.

A K Koul (Sahibabad)

Let BJP fight elections honestly and sincerely, with a slogan of establishing honest administration and uprooting all-pervading corruption practised by the Abdullahs and the Congress. The people of Kashmir have realised that separatists are nothing but an amalgam of robbers. If the BJP doesn’t indulge in any appeasement policy, it can be assured of a grand success in the forthcoming elections. Readers React More comments on economictimes.com
