Yadav said, “Democracy has been killed in Jammu and Kashmir by dissolving the assembly. I oppose and condemn it.”
The holding of local body polls in the state recently despite two major regional parties, the National Conference and the People’s Democratic Party, boycotting it made a mockery of democracy, he claimed.
