Earlier, the BJP had stated that they will start their campaigning for the Panchayat polls from South Kashmir.
Raina said that the restoration of democratic institutions are inevitable for which the elections are mandatory as people are suffering at gross root level in absence of basic facilities.
He said that people are voting only for the basic facilities. “The elections are not meant for the political solution of Kashmir issue but the polls are meant only to ensure basic facilities including Sadak, Bijli and Pani to the people,” he said.
