Srinagar, June 17: Ravinder Raina, who is the head of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jammu and Kashmir, said on Saturday that the party is ready for the Lok Sabha and assembly polls in the Union Territory.
According to Kashmir News Observer, he told media that the Election Commission of India should hold polls in Jammu and Kashmir.
In answer to a question about Omar Abdullah’s claim that the BJP is afraid of going to the polls, Raina said that the ECI, not any party head or the Prime Minister, is the only one who can decide about elections.
“Omar Abdullah knows very well that the Election Commission of India, not any party head or the Prime Minister, makes decisions about elections. We want the ECI to decide, and the BJP is ready for state elections in,” he said.
