N the run up to the Lok Sabha polls the political landscape here in Jammu and Kashmir is also getting
decked up with different hues of flags and slogans renting the air.
This time the poll arena has been extended to social
networking sites and every effort has been made by the
tech savvy leaders to reach out to the maximum number

With the arrival of Azad in the fray the Lok Sabha seat
would witness a close fight between the BJP and
Congress candidate.
