PM Narendra Modi in a series of tweets said that he was "delighted" that the polls in Jammu, Kashmir, Leh and Ladakh were conducted in a very peaceful manner which shows the people’s unwavering faith in democracy and the importance they accord to grassroots level governance. "This marks the dawn of a new and youthful leadership across the regions, which will make a monumental contribution to national progress in the times to come," he wrote. "It would make India’s Parliament proud that due to their historic decision in August this year, the people of J&K have been able to exercise their democratic right with exceptional enthusiasm, as seen in the historic turnout of 98% that too without violence or disturbance," the PM said.
