President's rule removed in Jammu and Kashmir: After the assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, the Central Government has lifted President's rule, so that the new government can take oath under the leadership of Omar Abdullah in the Union Territory. The new government is likely to take oath on October 16. In this way, President's rule has been removed from Jammu and Kashmir after six years. Let us tell you that the National Conference alliance has won in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. It has won 49 seats while BJP has won 29 seats.
Assembly elections were held in Jammu and Kashmir 10 years ago in 2014. After this election, BJP and PDP formed an alliance and formed the government. But in 2018, after BJP withdrew its support, the government fell and Mehbooba Mufti resigned from the post of Chief Minister. After this, President's rule was imposed in Jammu and Kashmir, which has now been removed.
Why was President's rule imposed?
President's rule in Jammu and Kashmir was imposed on October 31, 2019 after abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A and bifurcation of the region into two union territories – Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
The Union Home Ministry declared President's rule under Section 73 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019. The move followed the fall of the Mehbooba Mufti-led coalition government in June 2018, when the BJP withdrew its support to the government.
According to Article 92 of the state constitution, Governor's rule was imposed in Jammu and Kashmir for six months after the fall of Mehbooba Mufti's government. After the end of Governor's rule, the Central Government imposed President's rule, which continues till today.
