These are the primary parliamentary elections for the reason that Indian authorities revoked the area’s semi-autonomy.
Voters go to the polls in Indian-administered Kashmir.
These are the primary parliamentary elections since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s authorities revoked the area’s partial autonomy in 2019.
The prime minister says repealing Kashmir’s particular standing has helped combine it with the remainder of the nation.
It additionally says it has introduced peace and improvement after a long time of separatist violence.
Why then has Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Social gathering (BJP) not nominated any candidate to contest the three seats within the Muslim-majority area?
