Rajouri, Jan 29: Former minister and senior leader of Apni Party Choudhary Zulfikar Ali has expressed serious concern over delay in assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.

He expressed anguish over the delay in elections and said that how the absence of an elected government has created dissatisfaction among the people regarding development and their day-to-day issues.
