J&K Set for Historic Polls: ECI Announces Assembly Elections After Decade-Long Wait| Peoples’ Voice

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced a pivotal development for Jammu and Kashmir, scheduling assembly elections to be held in three phases starting September 18, after a decade of administrative control. This long-awaited decision has sparked a wave of anticipation among locals and political leaders. Residents like Waseem Hassan and Javed Ahmad welcome the return of local governance, eager to address regional issues directly through elected representatives. However, political reactions are mixed: the PDP, led by Mehbooba Mufti, has criticised the short campaign period, while the BJP views the announcement as a clear path to victory, accusing the PDP of making excuses. The last assembly elections in 2014 saw a brief PDP-BJP coalition, and the new polls aim to restore political stability and local autonomy in the region. #JammuKashmir #ECIAnnouncement #AssemblyElections #HistoricPolls #JandKPolitics #Election2024 #LocalGovernance #PoliticalChange #PDPvsBJP #ElectionCampaign #JammuKashmirVotes #DemocracyInAction #PeopleSpeak #KashmirPolitics #ElectionUpdates ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.101~
