As the state of Jammu and Kashmir reins under the President’s rule, there have been many political tiffs in the state. Accusing the regional parties, PDP and National Conference, Ram Madhav said that the parties are not allowing leadership to grow from the ground level and therefore had boycotted the municipal and panchayat polls.

Adding further he said, “Some regional parties had boycotted the municipal and panchayat elections. But now when there are parliamentary elections, the same leaders are in the fray to contest polls. It vindicates the point that they have no intention of strengthening democracy but want to keep their seats intact. They do not want leaders to grow from the ground level and that is why they boycotted the municipal election.”
