The Election Commission of India has postponed the polling date for the Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat to May 25, originally scheduled for May 7, moving it from Phase 3 to Phase 6. This decision came after demands from various political parties, including the BJP, JKPC, and JKAP. Leaders like National Conference's Omar Abdullah and PDP's Mehbooba Mufti had urged the Commission not to delay the elections, criticizing the move as baseless. CPI(M) leader MY Tarigami also echoed this sentiment, suggesting the BJP's low spirits as a reason for seeking a postponement. Despite the change in polling date, all other statutory processes such as nomination, scrutiny, and withdrawal have been completed, with 20 candidates contesting.
