NEW DELHI: NC-Congress alliance‘s victory is a verdict against BJP’s anti-people policies, its snatching of people’s rights and misuse of constitutional institutions, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said Tuesday. Congress also asserted that restoration of J&K’s statehood will be top priority.

In a post on X, the Congress chief said the coalition govt will ensure that it fulfils the aspirations of the people of J&K.
