In a recent statement, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti emphasized the importance of learning from the results of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections. Specifically, she urged the Centre to refrain from interfering in the upcoming National Conference–Congress government. Ultimately, a clear mandate is essential for the region’s stability.
Furthermore, Mufti congratulated the National Conference leadership on their impressive victory. She also commended the people of Jammu and Kashmir for their choice. “By opting for a stable government rather than a hung assembly, the people have shown their desire for strong leadership,” she remarked. This choice is especially significant given the numerous challenges faced since August 5, 2019.
In this context, a stable government is vital for addressing the ongoing issues in the region.
Moreover, reflecting on the election outcome, Mufti cautioned, “Without a clear mandate, there could be some misadventure.” She stressed that the Centre should heed this verdict. Indeed, interference in the new government’s affairs could lead to disastrous consequences. “If they choose to intervene, it will be worse than their current situation,” she warned.
In addition, Mehbooba noted that the success of the NC–Congress alliance stems from public belief in its potential for stability. People are looking for a coalition capable of effectively opposing the BJP. “I believe that is the main reason for their success,” she stated.
Furthermore, in her address, Mufti expressed gratitude to her party leaders and members. She recognized their hard work “even in such challenging circumstances.” As a result, she encouraged them to remain hopeful.
The PDP will indeed play a constructive role in opposition. “The concerns of the people don’t conclude with an election,” she affirmed. This commitment to advocacy is crucial for the community.
In conclusion, as the political landscape evolves, Mehbooba Mufti‘s call for stability and constructive governance is clear. Effective leadership is essential for navigating the complexities of Jammu and Kashmir’s future.
Kolkata: On Friday, January 10, 2026, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha members demonstrated against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her actions after the ED raids at the I-PAC office and its chief Pratik Jain's home. | In relation to an alleged coal smuggling case that stretches back a few years, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) searched the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) office and Pratik Jain's home on Loudon Street in Kolkata on Thursday, January 8, 2025. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a protest against the ED raids on I-PAC after the raid set off a political storm in the state. Why is a chief minister endorsing Pratik Jain, and who is he? Pratik Jain, a political strategist and co-founder of I-PAC, is a graduate of IIT Bombay. He is credited with helping I-PAC grow into one of the most significant political consulting organizations in India. I-PAC was established in 2015 and offers services like data-driven campaign management, support for governance, and voter outreach initiatives. It has collaborated with a number of Indian political groups throughout the years, notably West Bengal's Trinamool Congress (TMC). I-PAC reportedly collaborates closely with Abhishek Banerjee, the national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress, and his office. The company oversees the IT and media division of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC and is in charge of creating its election campaigns. Mr. Jain was in charge of the Trinamool Congress's IT cell, according to Ms. Banerjee. According to his LinkedIn page, Jain, an engineering graduate from IIT Bombay, started his career as an analyst at the consulting firm Deloitte. He was one of the first members of Citizens of Accountable Governance, which later evolved into I-PAC. Arvind Kejriwal, M.K. Stalin, Jaganmohan Reddy, Uddhav Thackeray, Rahul Gandhi, and Nitish Kumar are just a few of the prominent figures with whom the political consultancy firm has collaborated.…
