Pradesh Congress Committee chief GA Mir today pressed for early Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir and has expressed the hope that the people of the State will give clear mandate to Congress, instead of a Coalition Government in the state as has been witnessed since 2002.
While addressing workers meeting in Gandhi Nagar constituency today, Mir said he had no reason to believe that Election Commission was not looking at the possibility of conducting the Assembly election in the State at the earliest. He said any such reason to delay elections “will just be an excuse from those people who are trying to hold on to power in Jammu and Kashmir rather than transfer power back to the people”.
