JAMMU, Feb 5: Congress has said that norms, criteria and ground realities and aspirations of people seem to have been ignored in the delimitation of Assembly Segments and Lok Sabha Constituencies in J&K.
In its first reaction as per reports in the media about the delimitation of Assembly Constituencies, JKPCC said that the norms and fair criteria seems to have been ignored by the Commission. It said that people are surprised over the kind of divisions, clubbing of certain areas ignoring the ground realities, putting the people to great hardships and worst inconvenience in most areas. This is certainly not as per the needs, wishes and aspirations of people, PCC chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma said.
Surprisingly, most of the recommendations were already in circulation and public domain through the ruling party leaders most of whom have been campaigning too, for past couple of months now as per Commission’s report in circulation now.
However, he said that Congress shall discuss the proposals once the formal draft is out and put forth the view of the people forcefully.
