#Article370Scrapped: How Indian politicians reacted

By repealing Article 370, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, the number 2 in government, pulled off the biggest gamble of their careers.

Laws which prohibited Indians from buying property there, or becoming "permanent citizens" of the state have now been rendered useless.

Now, J&K will function under the Constitution and will follow the same set of rules as other states.

Naturally, BJP leaders rejoiced at the party's bold move. One of the first reactions came from Ram Madhav, who engineered BJP's alliance with PDP.

"Finally d martyrdom of thousands starting with Dr. Shyam Prasad Mukharjee for complete integration of J&K into Indian Union is being honored (sic)," the general secretary of BJP tweeted.

Separately, former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said historic blunder was corrected.

BJP ally Shiv Sena, which had been demanding to abolish Article 370, wholeheartedly welcomed the move.

Sanjay Raut expressed confidence that PM Modi would fulfill the dreams of "Akhand Bharat".

Another ally, AIADMK, also had the same opinion. "Amma is well known for upholding sovereignty and integrity. So AIADMK party supports the two resolutions, Reorganization Bill & the Reservation Bill," said MP A. Navaneethakrishnan.

Surprisingly, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is a staunch critic of the current BJP regime, also supported the decision.

"We support the govt on its decisions on J & K. We hope this will bring peace and development in the state," he tweeted. Mayawati-led BSP also said they won't oppose the move.

While BJP made new friends, some old friends appeared unhappy.

Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said BJP murdered Constitution.

Even local J&K parties also didn't have nice things to say.

PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti, who is under house arrest, tweeted, "What did J&K get for acceding to India? Another partition along communal lines? Our special status isn't a gift bestowed upon us. It's a right guaranteed by the same Parliament."
