“People want young leaders and have rejected the traditional, dynastic politics being practiced by the Muftis and Abdullahs as they have exploited Jammu and Kashmir from the past 70 years,” he said. “Despite ruling Jammu and Kashmir for more than 70 years, the Gupkar-gang leaders could not develop basic amenities. Even in the 21st century, our mothers and daughters have to travel for kms on end in search of drinking water, The previous governments also neglected issues of education, electricity and health care." The people of the Valley will be provided with clean water and an upgraded electricity infrastructure within the next four years, he pledged.
