Our main aim was free and fair election in Jammu and Kashmir where people should exercise their democratic right and it happened this time."
"During this election, we won hearts of people of Jammu and Kashmir and BJP became the single largest party, we got the highest number of votes in the Union Territory and that is the clear indication that we succeeded in winning hearts of people. And whenever next time election in UT takes place we will be victorious," Islam said.
