J&K election polls: every candidate is going to be provided with two section force!

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar has said, “The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act was passed in 2019. There was a provision for 107 seats, 24 of which were in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Then the delimitation commission came and there was a change in the seats…. The reorganisation Act and delimitation were not in sync. That happened in December 2023. So our meter started running from December 2023.”

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar also explained why assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir will be held after Lok Sabha Elections 2024 are over. He said, “All parties in Jammu and Kashmir said the Assembly election should be held with the parliamentary polls, but the entire administrative machinery said it cannot be done simultaneously. Every Assembly segment would have 10-12 candidates, which would mean more than 1,000 candidates. Every candidate has to be provided forces. It was not possible at this time.”
