“Yesterday, when our candidates filed their nominations in Srinagar, a large number of people came out to support them. It shows that people in Kashmir have faith in the Narendra Modi-led government and support the BJP for the Assembly elections,” Koul added.
Sources said that during Amit Shah’s visit, he is likely to release the BJP’s election manifesto and hold meetings with party leaders and workers in Jammu.
