Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections in next 6 months: Amit Shah

New Delhi, June 28 (IBNS): Stating the law the order in Jammu and Kashmir has improved, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said the Assembly elections in the northern state will be held in the next six months, media reports said.

Shah said this after tabling a bill in the Lok Sabha for an extension of the Presidential rule in the state.

"The government has worked a lot to uproot terrorism from the state," Shah, who heads the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said.

The Presidential rule was imposed in the state days after the BJP had withdrawn its support from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) resulting in the fall of the government.

The Election Commission in March stated there would be no simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in the state.

However, the panchayat elections were held in the state. Speaking about the local body polls, Shah said: "Local body elections were not held in the state for a long time but our government held the elections."
