| BJP govt neither wants Delimitation nor Assembly elections in J&K: Harsh | | | 
EARLY TIMES REPORT
UDHAMPUR, June 9: Describing the Delimitation Commission’s letter to all 20 DCs of J&K 15 months after its constitution seeking basic details regarding electorates etc as a cruel joke with the people of the erstwhile state, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman-JKNPP and former Minister said that the Commission’s conduct amply demonstrated the most casual approach of the present dispensation in holding the much trumpeted delimitation exercise in J&K. Its dumbfounding to note that the centre govt as well as its nominees in J&K who had been making tall pronouncements of early finalization of Delimitation process have been completely exposed as the Commission does not have even the basic information regarding number of voters, topography and composition of Districts and Assembly constituencies which is being sought from various Deputy Commissioners after a lapse of 1 ¼ years from the data of its constitution. He was addressing a press conference in Udhampur today. Harsh Dev maintained that the BJP’s vision document released in 2014 prior to elections had promised early Delimitation of Assembly constituencies in J&K with higher number of seats for Jammu region, besides reservation of 8 seats for PoK refugees as well as migrants from Kashmir out of the 24 seats reserved for the territory under illegal occupation of Pakistan. “The BJP however failed to deliver on the said promise also with no action taken by it for 6 years after its ascendance to power. It was only in February 2020, after public pressure, that a Delimitation Commission was constituted with a tenure of one year assuring completion of entire exercise by March 6, 2021 which was to be followed by Assembly Elections. What a paradox?” asserted Singh while condemning the unequal and highly contemptuous treatment being doled out to the erstwhile state. Prominent among those who participated in the press conference included Manju Singh (General Secretary-JKNPP), Surjeet Jamwal, Rampaul Bhagat, Vishab Dev Singh, Subash Chander, Tanantar Singh, Wishab Vijay, Hakikat Singh besides others.
