The Election Commission has deferred it. Congratulations to them,\u201d Abdullah told reporters in reply to a question about the postponement of elections on the<a href=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/mehbooba-mufti-questions-calls-to-defer-polling-for-anantnag-rajouri-lok-sabha-seat\/\"> Anantnag-Rajouri seat<\/a>.In reply to another question about the party\u2019s strength in the Anantnag-Rajouri seat and the prospects of its victory, he said, \u201cI can only say this, I have full faith in the people. We have full faith in Allah.\u201d<br \/>\nNC candidate and former minister Mian Altaf Ahmed took also took a potshot at the ECI and claimed he had not seen such an example of the deferring of polls in the history of elections.<br \/>\n\u201cThere is no example in history that elections have been deferred. I have never heard such an example that elections were postponed due to a mere landslide. This has happened for the first time. It is an undemocratic step,\u201d Altaf told reporters here.<br \/>\nHe alleged people\u2019s anger against the system will further increase. \u201cThere is no justification for such a step. The seat carved out after delimitation by joining people of Anantnag with Rajouri-Poonch belt is injustice and cruelty. People have already felt it. They are unhappy over it. It is just an excuse,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nThe elections to the redrawn <a href=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/will-respect-ecs-decision-on-possible-deferment-of-ls-polls-in-anantnag-rajouri-ravinder-raina\/\">Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat<\/a>, which was slated to go to polls on May 7, were postponed to May 25 by the Election Commission.<br \/>\nThis comes after several leaders, including Jammu and Kashmir BJP unit chief Ravinder Raina, Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party chief Altaf Bukhari, People\u2019s Conference leader Imran Ansari, and others, had approached the Election Commission requesting the rescheduling of polls to the seat due to adverse weather conditions.<br \/>\nThe Election Commission had asked the Jammu and Kashmir administration to immediately submit a detailed report on road conditions, weather, and accessibility to the region, which covers parts of south Kashmir and areas in Poonch and Rajouri in the Jammu region.<br \/>\nThe official notification said that the polls will be held on May 25.<br \/>\nFormer chief ministers Omar Abdullah (National Conference) and Mehbooba Mufti (PDP) had urged the Election Commission last week not to postpone the polls.<br \/>\nThe constituency was scheduled to go to polls in the third phase on May 7 to decide the fate of 21 candidates, including Mehbooba Mufti, who is facing a challenge from NC\u2019s Mian Altaf. It will now go to polls in the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16079\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16079\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16079\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-01-at-3.32.39-PM-300x191.png\" alt=\"Farooq Abdullah Attacks ECI Over Postponement Of Election In Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha Seat\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16079\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Farooq Abdullah Attacks ECI Over Postponement Of Election In Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha Seat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAMMU, May 1: National Conference (NC) president Dr Farooq Abdullah took a dig at the Election Commission of India (ECI) for postponing polling in the Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat to May 25.
