Jammu and Kashmir saw local body elections taking place after 13 years but was shunned by the state's two major parties. Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik told NDTV that this poll has much more credibility than its critic Farooq Abdullah's election. Mr Malik also declared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been the best prime minister for the valley, bettering even Atal Bihari Vajpayee's policies.
