"Now the situation has improved and the pancyayat polls should be held immediately to strengthen the democratic institutions at the grassroots level," he said.
Abdullah said his party would soon announce the list of candidates for the assembly elections, scheduled next year.
"NC will not wait for the announcement of elections to the state assembly and would be shortly announcing the list of the candidates for the elections," he said adding the party president Omar Abdullah and General Secretary Sheikh Nazir ahmed besides himself would finalize the list of candidates.
Abdullah indicated that most of the candidates would be young saying we will try to give party mandate to honest and dedicated workers but most of them would be young who can climb mountains and have sincerity to protect the party flag.
"This is being done to test the party workers. If anybody wants to leave the party he is welcome before the elections," he said. |
