Senior BJP leader Ram Madhav has dismissed suggestions of his party's role in the deepening crisis within the National Conference, after the Srinagar MP announced his resignation from Parliament.

Ram Madhav's statement came amid intensifying friction within the National Conference, following the announcement by Srinagar Member of Parliament Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi that he would step down from the Lok Sabha. The BJP leader categorically denied that his party had any involvement in the developments roiling the regional political outfit.
Mehdi's resignation has triggered speculation about internal dissension within the National Conference, one of Jammu and Kashmir's prominent political parties. The move has raised questions about the stability of the party leadership and its ability to manage internal cohesion among its parliamentary representatives.
Ram Madhav's clarification appears aimed at deflecting any narrative linking the BJP to factional tensions within the National Conference. The statement underscores the delicate political dynamics in Kashmir, where multiple parties vie for influence and regional players often come under scrutiny regarding inter-party rivalries.
The National Conference has not yet issued an official statement responding to Mehdi's resignation or addressing reports of internal disagreements. The party's response to these developments is likely to shape perceptions about its organizational strength and leadership credibility in the union territory.
