No state consulted us on polls, says Election Commission
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The Election Commission said on Monday that no one had approached them from any state to discuss the dissolution of Assembly. Meanwhile, two days ago Telangana government Chief Advisor Rajiv Sharma met Chief Election Commissioner Ashok Lavas and reportedly enquired about the possibilities of holding elections to the Telangana State Legislative Assembly along with four other states in December. TRS MP Sitaram Naik also said that they had written to the EC requesting information on the possibilities of holding elections to Telangana Legislative Assembly along with four other states in December. It may be recalled that MP Vinod Kumar also met EC officials a few days back and enquired about the possibilities of early elections to the Telangana Assembly. TRS leaders believe that the state would go to polls along with four states in the North and say that Mr Rao’s decision to hold a massive public meet — Pragathi Niveda-na Sabha — on September 2 as a show of strength hints at this move.
