Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 21: Even as the Election Commission has ordered a special summary revision of photo electoral rolls, chances of Assembly, Urban Local Bodies or Panchayat polls before Lok Sabha elections look bleak as the Union Territory administration has started homework for only Parliamentary elections.
In connection with the next Lok Sabha elections, the UT administration has started a massive exercise of collecting and preparing a data bank of all government employees.
While collecting data of all employees, it has been clearly mentioned that the exercise has been started just for the Parliamentary elections.
There is no mention of Assembly, ULB, or Panchayat elections in the form circulated among all government employees.
Furthermore, training programes started in the first week of September this year have also been stopped without giving any reason.
The Election Commission has ordered a special summary revision of photo electoral rolls of Jammu and Kashmir- the third such exercise in the last year and a half.
The revision of the rolls has been ordered in all the parliamentary and assembly constituencies of the Union Territory (UT), with January 1, 2024, as the qualifying date.
While the J&K has been without an elected government since June 2018 when the BJP broke its alliance with PDP, forcing Mehbooba Mufti to resign, the terms of most of the ULBs will expire by the end of this year.
As of now, the assembly elections in J&K seem nowhere in sight, even as the delimitation process was over in May 2022 and two revisions of electoral rolls had been undertaken by the poll body in late 2022 and early 2023. |
