For the first time after propounding the self-rule theory, the PDP has advocated regional federalism. “All the three regions of the state have been complaining of disparity and to overcome that regional disparity we propose to have sub-assemblies in all three regions of the state,” Mufti said. “These assemblies will ensure that equal development takes place in the regions.”
Mufti also said the local administration should take over the reins of state. “Our local talent should take charge of the administration — in civil and policing spheres,” the former CM said amid applauds from the crowd who were shouting slogans in favour of self rule.
