The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr S.Y. Quraishi, today ruled out any change in the schedule announced for Assembly elections in five States, saying a number of factors have been taken into account before finalising it.
“There is no question of rescheduling of dates already announced. We have taken everything into consideration,” he told PTI a day after the schedule for five States was announced.
He was replying to a question about the possibility of a change in view of reservations expressed by the Uttarakhand Chief Minister, Mr B.C. Khanduri, about rains and snow in January in the hill State that could hamper polling.
Though the BSP has not officially reacted, the ruling party in Uttar Pradesh is understood to be having reservations over early poll in February, since the term of the State Assembly expires only on May 20 next year.
