Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged voters in Jammu and Kashmir to participate in the electoral process as the second phase of polling commenced in the Union Territory. In his appeal, Modi emphasized the importance of voting in strengthening democracy, particularly encouraging first-time voters to actively participate.
Voting has started for the second phase of the assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir, where over 2.5 million voters are set to decide the fate of 239 candidates contesting 26 seats. Among the key contenders is former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. The constituencies involved in this phase are spread across six districts—three in the Kashmir Valley and three in the Jammu division.
The elections are crucial as they mark a significant moment in the region’s political landscape, allowing citizens to have their say in choosing their representatives. The Prime Minister’s call to action aims to boost voter turnout and ensure a robust democratic process.
