Speaking to reporters, Abdullah said he was hopeful of the success of all the party candidates.
"With the permission of party president Farooq Abdullah, our senior leader and colleague Sakina Itoo filed her nomination papers. Along with her success, we are hopeful of the success of every candidate who is contesting on our symbol," he said.
Abdullah said the party has placed its manifesto before the people and "it will not be wrong to say that perhaps no other party can bring a better manifesto or programme or an agenda for the next five years".

He expressed hope that Itoo will win by a huge margin.
We are hopeful of a huge win from the seat. Well begun is half done. I feel today has been a good start and God willing it will have its impact on other seats as well," he said.
The last date for filing nominations for the first phase is August 27.
Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir will be held in three phases - September 18, September 25 and October 1. The counting of votes will be held on October 4. |
