2020 J&K assembly elections rescheduled, Mehbooba Mufti alleges bias towards BJP.

Former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti criticized India's Election Commission for rescheduling voting and counting dates in J&K and Haryana, alleging bias towards the BJP. The polling in Haryana was moved from October 1 to October 5 to accommodate the Bishnoi community's Asoj Amavasya festival, with votes counted on October 8. This marks the first J&K assembly elections since 2014, amid ongoing tensions regarding the region's status.
