Will announce election schedule for J&K at appropriate time: Poll Body Chief

Srinagar: The Election Commissioner of India Rajiv Kumar on Monday said that the poll body will announce the schedule for elections in Jammu and Kashmir at an appropriate time keeping in view the security and other aspects in mind.

The poll body chief made the remarks during a press conference in Delhi to announce the schedule for elections in 5 states including Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Telangana and Rajasthan.

“Whatever be the right time for holding elections in J&K, the Commission will convey the decision keeping in view security, other aspects and other elections in the states, which will be simultaneously held. We will announce the schedule at an appropriate time,” he said.

Notably, Jammu and Kashmir has been without an elected government since 2018, when BJP parted ways with its alliance partner PDP in Jammu and Kashmir.

The erstwhile state has been under direct central rule since August 05, 2019 when it was divided into two Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh under the Reorganisation Act 2019.
