Analysis

Addressing a BJP rally in Jammu on 7 September 2024, ahead of the assembly elections, Shah said the Centre would restore Jammu and Kashmir's statehood 'at an appropriate time after assembly elections'.

Jammu and Kashmir continued to be a Union Territory after the elections (results announced on 8 October 2024). In October 2025 Shah said statehood would be restored at an 'appropriate time', without giving a date.

On 28 September 2026 the J&K Legislative Assembly passed a resolution calling for the immediate restoration of full statehood. As of October 2026 statehood had not been restored.

Notes

The deadline used is the J&K assembly election results date (8 October 2024), since Shah tied restoration to 'after assembly elections'; his wording also included 'at an appropriate time'.
