Jammu, August 11: As the Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in Parliament, there will be delimitation first, then assembly election and then statehood at the appropriate time. Things are also going in that sequence, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Sunday.
"When PM Narendra Modi came to Srinagar on June 20, he announced that elections would be held soon. A team of the Election Commission visited here and met all the stakeholders. The Election Commission will announce the date of the elections. As the Union Home Minister said in the Parliament on August 5, delimitation first, then assembly election, then statehood at the appropriate time. Things are going on in that sequence. I hope the assembly elections will be held soon," LG Sinha said.
The Jammu and Kashmir LG also inaugurated the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Centre at the University of Jammu today.
