Party Promising Kashmiri Statehood Wins Election
Briefly

Raza, a 21-year-old voter in Central Kashmir, expressed his hope for human rights and dignity by voting for the National Conference, a party focused on stability.
The NC's manifesto includes promises to release political prisoners and restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, reflecting the public's desire for change after years of central government rule.
Prime Minister Modi celebrated the elections as a success, emphasizing the absence of boycotts and the high turnout, which he interpreted as a validation of democracy in Jammu and Kashmir.
Despite the NC's electoral success, Jammu and Kashmir remains under significant control from New Delhi, with legislative limitations that restrict local governance and financial autonomy.
