While 334 Panch and 77 Sarpanch seats have also gone for voting across Jammu and Kashmir.
Yesterday Union State Finance Minister Anurag Thakur addressed a gathering in Budgam, Kashmir while campaigning for Bhartiya Janata Party. He targetted the Gupkar alliance and section 370 will never come back in the Jammu and Kashmir. He also added that the huge voter turn-out in the first five phases concludes the democracy is winning in the Union territory.
“The era of darkness and divisiveness will end as the election results on December 22 will usher in an era of engagement, entrepreneurship and resurgence of enterprise in this heavenly region.”
Previously we have seen how they discouraged citizens from participating in the electoral process. They created an atmosphere of fear. The voting percentage was barely 3-5% and today the Kashmir region gets 35-40 % voter turnout. This is because people are fed up and reposing their faith in PM Narendra Modi’s politics of hope and development for J&K”, he added.
J&K DDC polls are being held in eight phases and the last phase is scheduled for December 19 while the results are on December 22.
