Jammu Records 69.01 Percent Polling

Deccan Chronicle  

Srinagar: As much as 69.01 per cent voter turnout, out of over 17.8 lakh eligible voters, was recorded in Jammu on Friday when voting was held in 88 constituencies across 13 states and the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. BJP’s Jugal Kishore Sharma is seeking his third term on the Jammu seat but is facing a tough contest from former minister Raman Bhalla, the Congress nominee and working president of the party’s J&K unit. Following the representations of the BJP, J&K Apni Party and some other groups and, at least, three candidates in the fray, the ECI had on Thursday sought a report from J&K’s Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo and the CEO on their seeking rescheduling of elections in the constituency due to adverse weather conditions, including snowfall on the Mughal road which connects the Anantnag district with twin-border districts of Poonch and Rajouri. People’s Democratic Party president Ms. Mufti who is seeking election on Anantnag-Rajouri seat told reporters in Surankote in Poonch district, “I reached here from the Valley after driving through the Mughal Road which was opened for vehicular traffic recently. J&K BJP unit president Ravinder Raina, J&K Apni party president Syed Altaf Bukhari, J&K People’s Conference leader Imran Reza Ansari and the Democratic Progressive Azad Party candidate and two independents have submitted their representation to the ECI, seeking deferment of the polling.
