SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir’s ruling National Conference on Thursday sought deferment of elections to the state Assembly in view of large scale devastation caused by recent floods.
“Time is not ripe for holding elections as the atmosphere is not congenial due to devastation caused by floods and the trauma and shock the people are in,” said minister Ali Muhammad Sagar.
Congress has yet to express itself officially on the issue.
