Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Elections announced

Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections were announced by the Election Commission of India during a press conference. Elections will be held for the first time after the removal of Article 370. Jammu and Kashmir is now a Union Territory and the first assembly elections will be held here after the abolition of Article 370. Assembly elections are to be held in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, where the deadline given by the Supreme Court for holding elections is ending on September 30. Last December, the Supreme Court had directed the Election Commission to conduct assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir by September 30.

After 10 years, elections have finally been announced in the paradise of the world. Jammu and Kashmir will get its elected government on 4th October. The results will be announced after the assembly elections on this day. After this, it will be decided whose government will be formed. However, many changes occurred in Jammu and Kashmir in these ten years.

Schedule of Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections

Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections will be held in three phases. The first phase of elections will be held on the 18th of September 2024. Furthermore, the second phase of elections will be held on the 25th of September. The final and the last third phase will be held on the 1st of October 2024. Moreover, the counting of votes will be on the 4th of October 2024. Hence the path to forming a new Jammu and Kashmir assembly will be opened after the 4th of October.

Jammu and Kashmir assembly seats

After the delimitation held last year in Jammu and Kashmir, there are now 90 assembly seats. For the first time, 9 seats have been reserved for ST. Apart from this, seats have also been reserved for Scheduled Castes. There were 107 seats in the state Assembly which has now increased to 114. After delimitation, maximum seats have increased in Jammu.

Under the new delimitation, earlier there were 37 seats in Jammu and now there are 43 assembly seats. There were 46 seats in Kashmir, now this number has increased to 47. Earlier there were two nominated members in the Assembly, now this number will be 5. Two seats have also been reserved for displaced Kashmiri Hindus.

Seats reserved for POK

Pakistan occupied some areas of Jammu and Kashmir right after independence. After this, it remains Pakistan’s possession. In 1956, when a separate constitution of Jammu and Kashmir was made, 24 seats of POK were earmarked in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. It is believed that one day POK will come out of Pakistan and join India. On 22 February 1994, Parliament unanimously passed a historic resolution demanding that Pakistan vacate the areas of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir which it had occupied through invasion.

Hence in this election also, 24 seats will remain reserved for Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. This area of Jammu and Kashmir is currently under Pakistani occupation. That is why it is called POK.

Kiran Choudhary is a prominent Indian politician from Haryana, affiliated with the Indian National Congress (INC). She has played a significant role in the state’s politics and has held various important positions.

Furthermore, Kiran is the daughter-in-law of Bansi Lal, a key figure among the “Three Lals” of Haryana and a former Chief Minister of Haryana. The “Three Lals” of Haryana—Devi Lal, Bhajan Lal, and Bansi Lal—were influential political figures who significantly shaped the state’s political landscape. Each played a key role as Chief Minister of Haryana at different times. Moreover, their legacies continue to impact Haryana politics today.

Additionally, her husband, Surender Singh, was also a prominent politician. After his untimely death in a helicopter crash in 2005, Kiran Choudhary entered politics to continue his legacy.

Kiran Choudhary has been elected multiple times as an MLA from the Tosham constituency in Bhiwani district. She has successfully retained her seat, showcasing her strong electoral appeal and influence in the region. Moreover, Kiran Choudhary has served as a Cabinet Minister in the Haryana government. She has handled various portfolios, including Health, Social Justice and Empowerment, and Public Health Engineering. Her work in these roles focused on improving healthcare infrastructure, social welfare programs, and public health initiatives.

Kiran Choudhary resigned from the Congress Party

Congress will get a big shock before the Haryana assembly elections begin. Congress MLA Kiran Choudhary has been vocal against the party after her daughter was not given a ticket in the Lok Sabha elections. Kiran was seeking a ticket from Congress for her daughter Shruti from Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Lok Sabha seat. But the party gave a ticket to Congress MLA Rao Dan Singh from Mahendragarh instead of giving a ticket to her daughter. However, he was defeated in the elections. After that, Rao Dan Singh accused Choudhary of blasphemy without taking her name. At the same time, Kiran said that if the tickets had been distributed properly, Congress could have won the elections from here.

Now, Kiran and her daughter, former MP Shruti Choudhary, resigned from the party on Tuesday. According to sources, in the letter written to the Congress President, she has written about being insulted by big leaders of the Haryana Congress. Moreover, Kiran wrote that she was feeling uncomfortable in the party.

She will join BJP at the party headquarters in Delhi. CM Nayab Singh Saini and Union Minister Manohar Lal can also be present during this period. She has instructed all his supporters to reach Delhi. After the defeat in the Lok Sabha elections in Haryana, BJP was constantly trying to defeat Congress.
