In a surprising political development, the BJP this afternoon pulled out of its alliance with the PDP or People's Democratic Party in Jammu and Kashmir. The BJP had 25 lawmakers and the PDP had 28 in the state assembly, where the majority mark is 45. The decision to withdraw support came after BJP president Amit Shah met with the party's lawmakers from Jammu and Kashmir in Delhi. The rift between the two parties widened following the central government's decision to resume anti-terror operations in the state after Ramzan.
