Lok Sabha elections: Brisk polling in Jammu

| | Apr 10, 2014, at 05:53 pm
Jammu, Apr 10 (IBNS) Voting for the Jammu-Poonch Lok Sabha seat started on a brisk note on Thursday as enthusiastic voters queued outside polling stations waiting for their turns.

Most of the voters at polling stations said they were voting against corruption, price rise and fulfillment of promises which were made but not kept for ages.

There are 19 candidates in the fray, but the main contest is between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Jugal Kishore, Congress candidate Madan Lal Sharma and Yash Pal Sharma of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The ruling National Conference (NC), which is fighting elections in alliance with the Congress, supports Madan Lal Sharma who is seeking a re-election for the third time from here.

Meanwhile, stringent security arrangements are in place in the area which is close to both International Border (IB) and the Line of Control (LoC).
