Extension to delimitation panel won’t delay polls: BJP

Jammu:  Senior BJP leader and former deputy chief minister Kavinder Gupta on Friday said that apprehension on J&K not going for assembly polls in near future has no basis at all since the extension given to  delimitation process doesn’t mean that it will linger on exercise or will delay the polls.

In a statement, Gupta said delimitation panel is already on toes and the work is going on with fast pace.

He said that time and again PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have publicly confirmed that they want politically chosen dispensation in the UT and it is now matter of days only when their dream will be realised.

The senior BJP leader said centre is keen in holding free and fair elections in J&K to install a government which is capable of taking care of people’s aspirations unlike previous ones which seldom worry about masses and rather spend all the resources just to satiate their petty political interests and personal gains.

“Looking into the past in the erstwhile State of J&K, the regimes here were akin to private limited companies which except building their own private empires never thought of giving even a little proportion of the bounties being offered by the then governments at the centre”, he said adding delimitation is the first step after abrogation of Article 370 that will help in setting things right in J&K.

Gupta said the delimitation process has been envisioned by the BJP to give appropriate representation to the populace without any prejudice or scope of any kind of injustice.
