Step 1. Withdrawal of support from mehbooba mufti Government. This was Important so that the power to give consent moves to Governor.
Live: BJP quits J&K govt.; Mehbooba resigns, says she told Governor PDP will not go into any other alliance
It has become untenable for the BJP to continue with the alliance government in Jammu and Kashmir, says BJP vice president Ram Madhav.

Step 2.
Presidential order to transfer power of assembly to Parliament was passed in 2018 using power of president under Article 356.
Step3.
In order to validate it Further and remove objection from SUpreme court, SCST amendment was passed using this power and as expected court did not say anything.
Step 4.
Now because of validation given to SCST bill, the power of governor becomes unquestioned . Using the precedent of 1952, the power of constituent assembly is transferred to State assembly. See last clause
And power of state assembly were already with Governor since 2018.
So the trap was laid way back in june 2018 when bjp quit Jand K.

And When the governor got a sniff of coalition in J&K, he dissolved the assembly.
So, the whole controversy about dissolution was aprt of this.
Jammu & Kashmir Governor dissolves Assembly after rivals stake claim to govt formation
The state is now headed for a further spell of presidents rule after the first six-month term ends on December 19.

This govt formation was only for wasting time till the above conditions are not formed.
Summary
1.Form govt to dissolve atcright time.
2.Withdraw support to empower governor.
3.Controversial dissolution and Prez rule.
4.Use 356 to empower governor.
5.Validate from SC using SCST bill
6.Use 1952 precedent to tranfer power to assembly which means governor now.
7.Done
The real test was time of withdrawal from government. BJP withdrew just an year before General election. Now they just had to wait till election commission announced date of elections. But JK parties formed coalition before this could happen.
But governor Satyapal Trumped them.
This early dissolution created another problem. Now the Elections could be held with General elections. But Home ministry raised security issue and elections were delayed. The power was still with Governor. Mehbooba understood this game so did omar.
They cried
Mehbooba Mufti
@MehboobaMufti
Decision to hold only Parliamentary elections in J&K confirms sinister designs of GoI. Not letting people elect a government is antithetical to the very idea of democracy. Also a tactic of buying time to disempower people by pushing an agenda that suits their ulterior motives.
6:59 PM - Mar 10, 2019
But Election commision didn’t relent. Now, no threat to power of governor till LS2019.
Now the t8me was ripe to pass the SCST amendment bill Thus, establishing the powers of governor.
In this bill consent of Governor was construed as consent of State assembly. SC accepted
Now, the Supreme courts Activist judges cannot backtrack. If they backtrack, they would be deemed anti Dalit. They have to relent.
Once they accepted SCST bill, they cannot go back. Judicial activists cannot fight real Chanakya
From forming a govenment to withdrawing at right time. Giving power to governor using 356 to passing SCST act to validate his power. The BJP managed, media, opposition, Judiciary and naysayers within their own ranks.
I am really amazed at the think tank behind all this.
While everyone was speculationg future of J&K, BJP was creating rift within NC and PDP. Their sole aim was to delay coalition as much as possible. Even if Mehbooba wanted coalition with Omar, BJP made sure that they fall short of numbers.
Rebel PDP MLAs criticise Mehbooba for saying Centre ‘engineering’ split in party
The rebels also said they considered the “accession of Jammu and Kashmir with India as final”.

Another division planted to delay coalition
Sajad Lone Will be CM Face, Has Public Support, Says Rebel PDP MLA
Abid Ansari also said that this group had support of 48 MLAs, 5 of which are from the NC and 4 from the Congress, 25 from the bjp and 14 from the PDP.

And Article 370 has not been removed, rather it has been made powerless . Therefore, no amendment was done.
Many people are confused that it needs an amendment to remove an article from constitution, how did BJP managed without it.
The fact is 370 will remain in constitution, but as a powerless relic. It has been made powerless and useless.

The Most important event was this. The missing Fax . This sealed the fate of 370.
Fax stranger than fiction: J&K governor Satya Pal Malik claims he did not get fax as it was a holiday
Former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti had faxed a letter to the governor's office staking claim to form a government

. Lal Bahadur Shastri was the PM when PAkistan sent troops only into Kashmir in their attack (operation Searchlight/Gibralter or something) in Aug (?) 1965. After a few days of fighting, LBS sent tanks across the Radcliffe line in Punjab. India's position was set right there that an attack across LoC will invite a reliation anywhere along settled border.
