Known for being an outspoken leader, Malik campaigned vigorously, taking on the Bharatiya Janata Party, Congress, and National Conference.

As an elected District Development Councilor (DDC), he became popular for his strong criticism of the administration under the Lieutenant Governor.

At 36, Malik sought votes on the promise of providing basic amenities to the people of his mountainous constituency. His campaign gained further traction after AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh held a rally in Doda, adding momentum to Malik’s successful canvassing efforts in the region.
