Reacting to the “historic” voter turnout in the Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency yesterday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that the decision to abrogate Article 370 is showing results in poll percentage as well.
In a post on X, Amit Shah said that the decision to abrogate Article 370 enhanced people’s trust in democracy and its roots have deepened in Jammu and Kashmir.
Amit Shah’s reaction came a day after Srinagar went to polls on Monday in the 4th phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha polls and recorded the highest ever voter turnout of over 38 percent since 1996.
“The Modi government’s decision to abrogate Article 370 is showing results in the poll percentage as well. It has enhanced people’s trust in democracy, and its roots have deepened in J&K,” Shah said.
He added, “Through the surge in the poll percentage, the people of J&K have given a befitting reply to those who opposed the abrogation and are still advocating its restoration.” (KNS)
