BJP leader Ram Madhav has accused the National Conference (NC) and People's Democratic Party (PDP) of receiving support from former militants and advocating for the 'revival of terrorism' in their manifestos. He emphasized that the upcoming elections are pivotal for the peace of Jammu and Kashmir, urging voters to choose the BJP to prevent a return to 'troubled days.' Madhav outlined the BJP's ambition to secure 45 seats, with a focus on winning at least 10 in Kashmir, and confirmed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah would visit Jammu to release the party manifesto. He criticized the previous leadership represented by the Abdullah and Mufti families, asserting a need for new leadership. The Jammu and Kashmir elections will be held in three phases, concluding with vote counting on October 4. Madhav expressed hope for a BJP government in the region for the first time, marking a significant political shift.
