JAMMU: Batting for early assembly elections, Governor Satya Pal Malik has said all political parties, except Mehbooba Mufti-led Peoples Democratic Party, want early polls.
The Governor, however, hastened to add that it is the Election Commission of India, which has the mandate to hold the polls and decide the schedule.
“The Government has sought opinion from everybody – all political parties and security agencies. We have talked to all. The Government cannot decide it, it is for the Election Commission to decide (the poll schedule),” Malik said here in an interview. (AGENCIES)
