Ahead of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, Democratic Progressive Azad Party Chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad said that the ten-year gap in election in Jammu and Kashmir has left the state far behind in development, reported news agency ANI.

Speaking to ANI, Ghulam Nabi Azad said, "I strongly oppose the fact that elections were held after ten years. Till now there should have been two elections, one in 2019 and one now. Three elections were held for the Parliament and the no elections here left the state far behind," reported ANI.
