PDP-BJP coalition

The PDP-BJP coalition was an alliance formed between the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir from 2015 to 2018. The partnership was motivated by mutual interests, aiming to stabilize governance in a region with complex security and political issues. While PDP advocated for autonomy and democratic dialogue, BJP emphasized integration with India and development. The coalition faced challenges due to ideological differences and regional tensions, eventually collapsing in 2018, leading to direct central government rule. This alliance reflected the balancing act between regional aspirations and national integration.
