@narendramodi ji I am writing a thread on #DelimitationInJandK . Till date it has been a unscientific exercise by previous Governments. Hope this time all factors will be taken in to consideration while doing #DelimitationInJandK not just population.

1.The Delimitation in J&K Legislative Assembly as done since 1951 have been brutally unfair backward, and remotely connected areas of J&K .The worst sufferers have been the district of DODA ( Kishtwar, Ramban ), Udhampur ( Reasi) , Kathua , Rajouri and Poonch
2.People of Kupwara and Baramulla too have a case of discrimination when compared with districts of small geographical compactness and better terrain in Kashmir Valley.
3. On May 1st 1951 a notification was issued as Proclamation No : 22 for instituting a Constituent Assembly. Each Electoral District was to comprise a Segment of 40000 people ( subjects of J&K ).
4.Before Oct 1947 as per 1941 census ( as laid in the Administrative Report of the Government of Maharaja of J&K 16-10-1940 to 15-101941 total population was 40,21,616 ) the population of Jammu Province was 20.01 Lakh , Kashmir was 17.29 Lakh. No census was done in 1951
5. In 1941 Jammu Region comprised of 5 Districts – Jammu, Kathua, Udhampur, Reasi, Mirpur & 2 Jagirs of Punch and chenani , Kashmir region comprised of only 3 Districts- Anantnag, Baramulla, Muzaffrabad.
6. In 1951-52 on adhoc basis population of whole J&K state was taken as app 400000 and 100 seats for Constituent Assembly were decided. Out of 75 seats in J&K 43 seats fell in areas of Kashmir Valley , 30 seats in areas of Jammu Region and 2 in areas falling in Ladakh region
7. Where as the population numbers had also much changed after 1941 census and 1947. The distribution of Constituent assembly assumed that most of the population that was left in occupied areas under Pakistan belonged to Jammu Region which surely fails to any logical test.
8.Jammu Region had 6 District Administrative Units before 1979 and Kashmir Region had just 3 District administrative Units ( that were so unfairly made equal to Jammu Region i.e 6 in 1979 keeping that in Jammu Region only 6).
9. Even before 1979 big correction could have been applied for increasing the MLAs in Jammu Region beyond 32 and decreasing that in Kashmir region below 42 but was not done. Even 1995 Delimitation Order was blind in this regard.
10.Wazir Commission had recommended for increasing the number of districts from 6 to 9 in Jammu Region . Where as for Kashmir Region Wazir Commission had recommended that districts be increased from 6 to only 7.
11. But so unfairly in 2006 the then Congress- PDP Government gave kashmir region 300 % more than what was recommended by Wazir Commission i.e 6 to 10 instead of 7 districts and only 33% more to Jammu region i.e 6 to 10 instead of 9 than recommended.
.Geographical Compactness: Jammu region is much less compact than Kashmir region: Nature of terrain : The terrain of areas in Doda , Kishtwar, Udhampur, Reasi, Kishtwar, Ramban, Kathua, Rajouri and even some parts of Samba is bad and difficult.
13.Facilities of Communication : The surface transport infrastructure in Jammu region is at much lower level as compared to Kashmir region. Hence it is more difficult for a MLA of these areas to visit his people or for people to visit him.
16. In 1996 Gurez was made a constituency with just 9900 voters but smallest constituency in Jammu region was Bani with 27000 voters. Nawapachi in Kishtwar having only air connectivity in winters with 18000 voters is not a constituency. Difference itself can be seen.
