JAMMU, May 15: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and DDC Member Suchetgarh, Taranjit Singh Tony here today reiterated the demands of early elections in J&K to install popular government and restoration of Statehood.
In a handout, Tony appealed to the Election Commission of India to not to wait for the nod from the Centre and declare Assembly elections in J&K using the power which Constitution of the country has guaranteed to the constitutional body.
He said that the BJP government has been adopting double standards when it comes to the issue of J&K.
“On one side it want to take credit of bailing out people from the morass of unrest and terrorism as its leadership in all election rallies point out that Kashmir is totally normal now but when it comes to hold Assembly elections, the party simply make terror and turmoil its alibi to defer the poll process showing its deception and duplicity,” Tony maintained.
He said that logic of BJP leadership in holding Panchayat elections in J&K and deferring the Assembly polls is bizarre because if the situation is conducive for PRI polls then what is hindering the Government to hold polls for installing a popular Government.
