Srinagar, Apr 30 (PTI) The elections to the redrawn Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat, which was slated to go to polls on May 7, was postponed to May 25 by the Election Commission. This comes after several leaders including Jammu and Kashmir BJP unit chief Ravinder Raina, Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party chief Altaf Bukhari, People's Conference leader Imran Ansari and others had approached the Election Commission requesting for rescheduling of polls to the seat due to adverse weather condition. The Election Commission had asked the Jammu and Kashmir administration to immediately submit a detailed report on road conditions, weather and accessibility to the region which covers parts of South Kashmir and areas in Poonch and Rajouri in Jammu region. The official notification said that the polls will be held on May 25.
A handful of political parties, including the BJP, want the Election Commission to delay elections in the Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat. They have cited bad weather and a blocked road as reasons. Parties like PDP and NC have, however, rubbished the claim. What is the issue?
