On Assembly Polls And Governor, Omar Abdullah's Surprising Claims | Read

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today claimed Governor Satyapal Malik has told government officials that assembly elections in the state will not be held soon. The Governor, he said, was either incompetent or carrying out the BJP agenda. Assembly elections are due in Jammu and Kashmir, which has been under the Governor's Rule since July last year. There were expectations that it would be held along with the Lok Sabha elections, but the Election Commission thumbs downed on it, citing the security concerns of the state government.
