Residents of J&K have successfully negated the designs of separatists and terrorists and made these elections highly successful. J&K residents have massively participated in the event like a festival. Local residents were being threatened by the terrorists at the start of these elections, but they sidelined their threats and participated in the event even with the greater force.” “We are thankful to the Election Commission which made this process a grand success. We also congratulate every agency, security agencies, paramilitary forces, Indian Army, JKP and all others without whose contribution these elections could have not been such a great success. The Government employees who served tirelessly in this election also deserve compliments”, Raina added.
