The people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in the Kashmir region, are yearning for a government that resonates with their needs and aspirations. For far too long, they have been at the mercy of a faceless bureaucracy that has not only failed to address their grievances but has also stifled their voices. This disconnect has led to a sense of suffocation among the populace, who have felt isolated in their struggles without anyone to share their daily challenges with. The culmination of these sentiments has significantly influenced the voting behaviour of the people, who have expressed their desires through a decisive electoral mandate. However, this is merely the surface of a deeper narrative. The electorate has demonstrated a clear political consciousness, and it is imperative for the National Conference to interpret and embrace this message as a guiding principle for their governance.

As Jammu and Kashmir transitions towards a civilian government, the anticipation among the populace is palpable. The earlier speculations surrounding a possible hung assembly and the ensuing uncertainty have been dispelled with the National Conference securing a clear mandate. This victory signals a pivotal moment for the people of Kashmir, who have longed for a government that reflects their choices and addresses their concerns. The act of voting is not just a procedural formality; it symbolizes a collective voice that has finally been heard. The people have articulated their desire for representation and accountability, and it is now the responsibility of the elected officials to honour this trust and work diligently for the welfare of their constituents.
The challenges facing the new civilian government are substantial, as the expectations from the electorate are exceedingly high. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are looking for empowerment, and the onus is on the National Conference and Congress to demonstrate their political acumen in navigating the complex landscape of regional politics. There are numerous fault lines that exist within the socio-political fabric of J&K, and the two parties must approach these issues with caution and insight. It is essential that they foster an inclusive environment where no region feels marginalized, as any perception of animosity could hinder progress. The transition from direct rule by the Centre to a locally elected government must be executed smoothly, ensuring that the voices of the people are prioritized. Now that the electorate has made their wishes known, it is crucial that the new government is empowered to address the myriad challenges facing the region and to work towards a brighter, more unified future for all its citizens.
The new government should start from the very first day. There is no time for any relaxation and laxity of any kind.
This is the first government since the Independence which has this huge task at hand. The government has all the eyes on it and every kind of challenge.
Starting from good governance, through restoration of statehood to the resolution of the issue of Jammu and Kashmir the government has to have all the tasks going on simultaneously.
One decision of setting free all the political prisoners would be a great service and an indication that the government means business.
It may seem beyond the scope of this government at this time but the government has to work for that.
Above everything else the dented dignity of the people needs to be restored.
One more task where the government has to be serious is about the different aspirations and preference of people of Jammu region and Kashmir region, it has to plug the gaps and that too must begin at the out set.

Over all it must be the serious business from the day number one.
Now is that day and now is that time.
