Arguing that all other parties in A&N Islands are trying to get their share of benefits through the Administrator to follow their demands because they prepared their election manifesto when they had no right to do so as they are not in the channel of administration due to lack of Local Assembly. Therefore, the JKP Demanded institution of local State / UT Assembly / Pradesh Council as the immediate step towards the democratic process of clean Administration, Instead some political parties are trying to woo the vote bank telling the public that the Administrator is from their party and he will follow what is advised by them. JKP announced that they have been registered as State Party by the Election commission of India and will certainly challenge the age old traditional National parties who look towards Delhi for decisions.
