The Prime Minister, however, said that during the last some years, the BJP-led government has nurtured new leadership to counter dynastic politics. "The present assembly election will decide Jammu and Kashmir's future, targeted by foreign powers since Independence. Dynastic politics has hollowed out this beautiful region, prioritizing family interests over people's welfare”, he said while launching a blistering attack on the National Conference, Peoples Democratic Party and the Congress. The Prime Minister highlighted his government's focus on empowering youth leadership since 2014. "We held panchayat polls in 2018, Block Development Council elections in 2019, and District Development Council polls in 2020, bringing democracy to the grassroots. 30,000-35,000 youngsters were elected, taking charge of Jammu and Kashmir. Prime Minister criticized the Congress, National Conference, and PDP for encouraging corruption, land grabbing, and separatism. “This assembly election is between three families and the youth.
