Flawed J&K re-organization act creating hurdles in delimitation, assembly polls: Harsh Dev
1/15/2020 9:16:29 PM
Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 15: Referring to the repeated statements made by state as well as central BJP leaders to hold delimitation of Assembly constituencies prior to holding of elections in J&K, Harsh Dev Singh Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) Chairman and former Minister said that the saffron leadership has been caught on the wrong foot.
He said that the J&K Re-organization Act passed by the Parliament runs counter to the assurances given by the BJP leadership in this regard. He said the loud mouthed dunderheads of BJP are trapped in their own web as the Re-organization Act does not allow delimitation in J&K till the first census held after the year 2026. As a consequence, neither the delimitation is being held, nor the much delayed elections are being announced, regretted Singh.
Harsh Dev Singh said that the Panthers Party had all along been seeking delimitation in J&K so as to rectify the anomalies in the allocation of Assembly seats amongst the two regions of the erstwhile state and to ensure justice to Jammu regime. "And though BJP also promised to conduct the delimitation exercise in J&K and to end political imbalance and bias against Jammu, it did exactly the opposite of what it had assured when it came to passing the appropriate legislation on the subject in the Parliament. It denied Delimitation by inserting a proviso in sec 63 of the J&K Re-organization Act clearly ruling out any such exercise till the first census after the year 2026 was conducted. Than how do the roly poly, overweight rabble rousers of BJP still claim to undertake delimitation before holding Assembly elections.
Remember, the said Re-organization Act has been passed by both houses of Parliament with around 400 members of the BJP having gone though the provisions of the bill and voted for it on August 5 and 6 in Lok Sabha as well as Rajya" Sabha", maintained Singh.
"The fact is that the BJP has landed itself in a catch 22 situation. It can neither hold delimitation nor is it able to announce elections in J&K. In its over ambition and lust for power, it has been making promises without the will or the intention to redeem them. And now it has fallen in its own trap. It's apathy and disregard for the sentiments of the people of Jammu would deliver the last nail in the coffin of BJP", asserted Singh.
Seeking early Assembly polls in J&K, he said that the people cannot be deprived of a legitimate democratically elected government only due to the lapses of the BJP leadership and the resultant flaws in the Reorganization Act.
