Delaying Anantnag polls will harm ECI’s credibility: CPI(M) leader M.Y. Tarigami

The Hindu  

Communist Party of India leader M.Y. Tarigami on Monday warned against postponing the election for the Anantnag-Baramulla constituency, saying that such a step will “harm the electoral process in J&K as well as the credibility of Election Commission of India”. Such steps will harm the electoral process in J&K and the credibility of the ECI,” Mr. Tarigami said. He said the BJP and some parties, which are not fighting elections, were hatching a conspiracy to reschedule election, citing the poor state of the Mughal road area. The ECI recently sought a report from J&K Chief Secretary and the Chief Electoral Officer following separate representations made by the BJP, the J&K Apni Party, and the J&K Peoples Conference “to defer polls due to bad weather conditions and closure of the Mughal road”.
