Union Minister Jitendra Singh said Saturday his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was ready for assembly and parliamentary polls in Jammu and Kashmir.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function here in the hilly Ramban district, he said, "It is not in my control to say when the elections will take place or whether parliamentary and assembly elections in the state will be held together."
Accusing the previous governments of neglecting the hilly districts of the state, the Union Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office said, "Development of hilly and far-flung areas, including the Northeast and Jammu and Kashmir, is the priority of the central government."
