ET REPORT
Jammu, Nov 9: It is a political affair with no sheen. Just seven days have left for first phase of polling and there is not even an appropriate presence of banners or flags across ten constituencies in four districts of state going to polls in first phase on November 17.
Except few public meetings of Peoples Democratic Party leader Mehbooba Mufti in Poonch and one Congress rally addressed by Ghulam Nabi Azad and Saif-ud-Din Soz in Leh no major political event has been witnessed in four districts which kick off the polling process. It is passing off as an unusually low key affair even as a record number of 102 candidates are contesting elections in ten constituencies where t... | |

The calendar on protest marches, issued by the Coordination Committee in Srinagar, is not being treated by politicians and candidates contesting the ensuing election as a mere paper tiger. People, irrespective of party affiliations, continue to heed the call for Maisuma or Lal Chowk or Jamia Masjid Chalo. However, strict measures taken by the state administration have, so far, foiled all these marches. Will the call for Maisuma or Lal Chowk or Jamia Masjid or Kupwara or Budgam or Anantnag or Pulwama chalo, aimed at disrupting the poll process and the polling, be foiled by the administration on the days when people are expected to march to the polling stations for casting th... | |
