I especially want to commend all the women and first-time voters for their significant participation in this celebration of democracy. A heartfelt thank you to our exceptional security forces, JKP, and election officials. With nearly 59% polling in the first phase, democracy is thriving in J&K.

The public has also rejected divisive agendas and reaffirmed their commitment to democracy.(BANN)
