Union Home Minister Amit Shah assured the eradication of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir during an election rally in the Kishtwar district's Padder-Nagseni assembly segment. Shah emphasized that Article 370 is now a part of history and will no longer be a part of India's constitution.

In his address, Shah criticized the National Conference-Congress alliance, asserting they will not form the J&K government. He praised the sacrifices of local residents since 1990 and promised to end terrorism definitively. Shah also paid homage to BJP and RSS leaders killed in terror-related incidents and criticized opposition parties for allegedly promising to release terrorists from prisons.
