Jammu And Kashmir Local Body Polls A Success, Says Governor Satya Pal Malik

After 13 years, the local body elections in Jammu and Kashmir finally kicked off today and on the face of it, things looked really grim. Since it is an election process which doesn't have two main parties in the state- which is National Conference and People's Democratic Party? Can these polls be thought to be representative if their candidates haven't participated? On Reality Check today, we questioned the new governor and the man in-charge of Jammu and Kashmir Satya Pal Malik. He countered every allegation - from the low credibility of these polls to his stand of Article 35A and why he thinks Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the best bet for Kashmir.
