Former K’taka CM Bommai credits J&K’s Ranji participation to abrogation of Article 370; lauds Modi
Bengaluru: A statement by former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai linking Jammu and Kashmir’s Ranji Trophy match in Hubballi to the abrogation of Article 370 has drawn criticism on social media.
In a post on social media platform X, Bommai said that the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team playing a Ranji match in Hubballi was a sign of normalcy returning to the region after the removal of Article 370. He also stated that Jammu and Kashmir’s full participation in various fields across India was the result of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong leadership.
Reacting to the post on X, B.K. Hariprasad said that even a simple Google search would show that the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team has been participating in the Ranji Trophy since the 1959-60 season. He remarked that claiming everything as an achievement of Prime Minister Modi has become a routine.
On Facebook, Ramamohan B.S. commented that whenever something positive happens, it is credited to Modi, while anything negative is blamed on former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. He questioned whether political leaders could speak based on facts rather than politics.
Another user, Divya Gowda, said that Jammu and Kashmir has been playing in the Ranji Trophy since the 1950s and 1960s. She criticised the statement and urged leaders to verify facts before making public posts.
