To the extent one can judge a reclusive figure like Vajpayeeji, I don’t think his heart would have been in something as divisive as the abrogation of Article 370. He understood in his heart – and the acme of his career as PM between 1998 and 2004 bears witness to this – that some of his party’s core beliefs / dogma simply would not resonate in large parts of the country, among large swathes of the population. He would not have wished to stand on their head these foundational values, content simply to downplay them sufficiently to make a success of both his governing coalition and his practice of governance. He did not require a tutorial to understand that 282 is not 543; 31% is certainly not 100%.
