JAMMU, Nov 22: Amidst reports of Government proposing to prepone Panchayat elections, JKPCC has accused BJP’ of delaying the overdue Assembly elections for fear of loosing it badly.
Reacting to reports of government proposing to hold early elections to Panchayats cutting short their tenure of five years, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress has criticised the move being another ploy of delaying the assembly elections for fear of loosing the same.
Ravinder Sharma said that the people want early assembly elections restoration of statehood to install elected government at the earliest but the bureaucrats are eager to delay it further on one pretext or other to enjoy complete power while BJP wants it’s proxy rule to continue further.
He questioned the move of holding pre- mature elections to Panchayats which against the mandate of the people of five years to them. Reports suggest holding of Panchayat elections on party basis which is also wrong but BJP wants to test waters for assembly elections.
Seeking clarification about such a move, Sharma demanded that government should allow the PRIs to complete the full tenure and announce to hold Assembly elections after declaring restoration of statehood at the earliest.
He also emphasised that restoration of statehood and democracy will help improve the deteriorating security situation and overall unrest and political uncertainty.
