J&K Statehood: Modi Govt Hints At Kashmir Elections 'Any Time Now' | SC Hearing On Art 370

The Modi government on August 31 told the Supreme Court that it is ready for assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, but added that the polls may happen after the local elections. “The central government is ready for elections at any time. Till date updating of the voters list was going on- which is substantially over. Some part is remaining- that the Election Commission is doing. There are three elections which are due. For the first time, the three tier panchayat raj system is introduced. First elections would be for panchayats. District development council elections have already taken place…Then there would be municipality elections and then there would be legislative assembly elections,” Tushar Mehta, Solicitor General of India, told the top court.
