There is a strong possibility that assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, delinked from the Lok Sabha polls, will be held in June soon after the national elections conclude, views expressed by the state administration and the home ministry indicate.
The likely schedule will also fall after the holy month of Ramzan is over and before the Amarnath Yatra begins. Also, it will be before the current spell of central rule is due to get over in July. The schedule, once finalised, will help address criticism that the state is being denied a representative government.
