The Election Commission further made it clear as to why it announced the only schedule of Parliament election in J&K. The EC said that based on the input, the constraint of availability of central forces and other logistics, the requirement of forces for the security of candidates in wake of recent violence and keeping other challenges in mind, it announced the polling schedule for the state.
CEC Sunil Arora also said that they have tried covering the left-wing affected areas of various states at one go. Once the left-wing affected states get covered which require much more force, then those forces can move to other areas, said Arora. The Commission has also directed political parties/candidates to desist from using environmentally hazardous publicity material and promote usage eco-friendly substances for the preparation of election campaign material.
Soon after the announcement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter and said, “The festival of democracy, elections are here.” “I urge my fellow Indians to enrich the 2019 Lok Sabha elections with their active participation.
