Srinagar, Mar 29: National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah said on Wednesday that the Election Commission seems to be in no hurry to conduct the assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir and manages to find new excuses to delay the elections.

Abdullah wrote on Twitter “When asked about assembly elections in J&K, the chief election commissioner acknowledged a ‘vacuum that needs to be filled’. Yet surprisingly the @ECISVEEP seems to be in no hurry to conduct elections, on the contrary they manage to find new excuses to delay polls,” .

“It has been eight years since the last assembly elections were conducted in J-K, and five years since it had an elected government,” he said, adding that it’s plainly obvious the BJP in J&K is terrified of facing the people but it isn’t the job of the Election Commission to give the BJP a shield to cower behind.
