No State Elections In Jammu And Kashmir Right Now, Only Parliamentary Polls
Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir would not be held along with the Lok Sabha elections, the Election Commission said today, setting off an avalanche of criticism in the Kashmir Valley. The state has been under Governor's Rule after the BJP ended the ruling alliance with Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party. With elections due by May, all political parties in the Kashmir Valley had appealed to the Commission to hold it along with the Lok Sabha polls.
But the Commission -- which has been studying the feasibility of holding elections as the state passes through a sensitive phase after the Pulwama attack -- indicated that the time is not right. Elections for six Lok Sabha seats in the state will be held in five phases.
