Elections and Public Excitement

The upcoming elections in Jammu and Kashmir are stirring a significant degree of excitement among the populace, marking a decade since the last assembly election. Key political figures, including those from leading parties, are actively engaging with constituents in a bid to gather support. The public is particularly responsive to leaders who have faced imprisonment, as many voters feel a deep connection to their struggle and hope to use the elections as a means to influence change. This sentiment is amplified by a desire for local representation to address pressing issues like unemployment, which remains a major concern for many.
