While the NC and PDP, which are part of the Gupkar alliance, has clearly positioned itself by demanding the revival of Article 370, the BJP is readying an electoral plank in Jammu -- just as its national plank -- by showcasing the Modi government's scrapping of Article 370 as a major "nationalist" achievement. The Congress, which has a comparatively larger electoral base in Jammu, and some pockets of influence in the Valley, and still has to keep its national positioning against the BJP, is finding the Article 370 curve here too delicate to navigate.
