Manoj Sinha
Amid terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha has said an important thing about the elections. Sinha said on Sunday that the Election Commission has the authority to decide assembly elections in the union territory. He has also expressed hope that the democratic process will start soon in Jammu and Kashmir. LG Sinha said this during a program.
The Supreme Court has given a deadline of September 30 for the assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir. A three-member Election Commission team has been formed under the leadership of Rajiv Kumar to conduct assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir. Let us tell you that after the collapse of the PDP-BJP government in 2018, Jammu and Kashmir has been under the rule of the central government for more than six years.
Assembly elections will be held soon
During a program at Jammu University, LG Sinha said that assembly elections will be held soon, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks during his visit to Srinagar in June. A statement made by Home Minister Amit Shah in Parliament on August 5, 2019 was also mentioned. After delimitation, assembly elections will be held and then statehood will also be given in due course. The recent two-day visit of the entire Election Commission team to Jammu and Kashmir and their meetings with political parties and administrative officials before returning to Delhi were also mentioned.
