Talking to reporters in Bandipora Bukhari said that Jammu and Kashmir people are eagerly waiting for the elections. He said, “For the past 10 years, the people of J&K have been awaiting their right to elect their representatives. We expect that the ECI team, which is currently visiting J&K, will make an announcement regarding the holding of assembly elections.”
