On Wednesday, Ram Madhav, BJP's election in-charge for the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, asserted that the forthcoming elections in the region will be historic. Madhav claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to form a new government, pledging peace and development for the state. As part of the campaign, Madhav accompanied party candidate Aijaz Hussain from the Lal Chowk constituency in Balhama on the outskirts of Srinagar.

Madhav expressed optimism, stating, "This will prove to be a historic election. We have full faith that the families responsible for the valley's and Jammu's long-standing tragedy will be freed. A new leadership will emerge in Jammu and Kashmir." He emphasized that the BJP will ensure peace, harmony, and development, while criticizing opposition parties like National Conference (NC) and People's Democratic Party (PDP) for their alleged role in perpetuating instability.

He further remarked, "Those who seek peace, reject terrorism, and desire development will rise in Kashmir. The BJP will defeat parties that try to revert to old conflicts. A new government under BJP leadership is on the horizon." The BJP recently released a fourth list of candidates for the J-K Assembly elections, fielding prominent names like Ravinder Raina in Nowshera and Arif Raja in Eidgah. Polling is scheduled in three phases, with the final vote count on October 8, the first since the abrogation of Article 370.
