Holding Assembly polls on time, test for PM: Omar

SRINAGAR: Asserting that holding Assembly elections on time is a test for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, National Conference (NC) Vice President Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said that any delay in the polls would mean that the Centre has deteriorated the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

Hitting out at the PM, he said the Election Commission had to postpone its scheduled visit to Jammu and Kashmir, due to the upcoming visit of Mr Modi to all three regions of the State, including Jammu, Srinagar and Ladakh.

”EC was forced to postpone its visit to the State due to PM Modi’s visit,” the former chief minister of the State told reporters in Shangus at south Kashmir district of Anantnag. The NC vice president said that his party was ready for elections. (AGENCIES)
