Politics in India Since Independence: Regional Aspirations

Question:

Which of these regional parties belongs to Jammu and Kashmir?

Options:

National Conference and National Front

Akali Dal and People’s Democratic Party

National Conference and People’s Democratic Party

National Front and People’s Democratic Party

Correct Answer:

National Conference and People’s Democratic Party

Explanation:

Assembly elections in the State were held only in 1996 in which the National Conference led by Farooq Abdullah came to power with a demand for regional autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir. J&K experienced a very fair election in 2002. The National Conference failed to win a majority and was replaced by People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Congress coalition government.
