Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor G C Murmu on Monday favoured the early assembly polls in the Union Territory and said the power should go into the hands of the people "as soon as possible".
He was speaking to reporters after dedicating a 72-metre-long multi cell box type load class 70 bridge to the nation at Draj in Rajouri district.
Responding to a question of media persons about holding of assembly elections in the UT, Murmu said "This is what I am saying that the power should go into the hands of the people as soon as possible. This is what we are saying always."
Asked further about the specific time frame when the pools will be held, he said "It has its own process."
