Forces are surely capable of holding a poll for both on the same day much to the relief of people. Centre’s logic is poor and BJP’s excuse is childish,” Mayawati tweeted.
“BJP relying on nationalism and national security as LS poll issue, ignoring the much-touted issue of ‘Vikas’. No problem, but BJP first satisfy masses what happened to poll promise of ‘Achche din’ to crores of poor, laborers, farmers, unemployed. ‘Vikas’ agenda gone, voters apathy is palpable,” she added.

The Presidential order of 1952 was issued on 15 November 1952, at the request of the state government. It amended the Article 370, replacing the phrase “recognised by the President as the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir” by “recognized by the President on the recommendation of the Legislative Assembly of the State as the Sadr-i-Riyasat”.
