      Political leaders on Haryana elections<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

      “A<\/span>AP will contest the Haryana elections with full force. Arvind Kejriwal himself is from Haryana, which creates an emotional connection with the people there.

          History of Election in Jammu and Kashmir<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

          The last assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir <\/span>were held<\/span> in 2014.<\/span> At that time, <\/span>a coalition government was formed<\/span> with Jammu and Kashmir, which<\/span><\/p>\n

          Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led it. <\/span>However, on August 5, 2019, the Indian government<\/span> made a <\/span>big<\/span> change by repealing Article 370, giving Jammu and Kashmir special status. <\/span>This<\/span> led to the creation of two new Union Territories, Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh, starting on October 31, 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Jammu and Kashmir lost their status as states, and their legislative assemblies were dissolved because of the change. The upcoming elections in the Jammu and Kashmir will be important for setting up democratic processes and deciding how the region will <\/span>be governed<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
