JAMMU, June 8: Former Member Parliament and senior Congress leader, Madan Lal Sharma today said that delimitation of Assembly constituencies in J&K was the need of the hour.
Addressing a meeting of Congress workers at Akhnoor today Madan Lal said that the Central Government should hold the Assembly elections at the earliest in J&K so that a democratically elected Government can function and solve the problems being faced by the people of State.
Speaking on the issue of delimitation he said that in many sections of the electronic and print media the news of setting up of Delimitation Commission by the Central Government was shown and it is the need of the hour. He said Central Government should setup commission and complete the process of delimitation. It should not prove to be just an election stunt by BJP.
By setting up the Delimitation Commission BJP will rectify its own mistake which it did in 2001, when the BJP led NDA Government passed a law and stopped delimitation till 2026 in the whole country and on the same lines National Conference which was a part of NDA Government passed a bill in J&K Assembly and stopped the delimitation process till 2026 in J&K. He said that the Delimitation Commission should be set up and in a time bound manner and it should delimit the constituencies and elections should be held after that.
Madan Lal said that the BJP Government in J&K had completely failed on the expectations of the people of J&K especially Jammu from where they got a huge mandate by the people. The local administration should work pro actively and solve the problems of the people of Akhnoor. He said that the BJP Government did nothing to regularize the daily wagers and he assured that after the formation of Congress Government in State the issues of daily wagers will be resolved at the earliest.
