Due to increasing Corona cases across the State, TPCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy requested Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan to postponement of elections to seven ULBs. Let us share here that while addressing this issue he wrote a letter to the Governor, In this latter the TPCC president said: “Right from hasty preparation of electoral rolls to hurried allocation of reservations to continuance of municipal elections, the State Election Commission (SEC) has plunged to new low in conduct of free and fair elections.”
Here it is to be noted that the present SEC has discontinued the practice of holding all party meetings before any local body elections, he alleged that the election schedule notification and reservations were announced hurriedly on April 15 and it was announced that nominations would start the very next day with polling to be held on April 30. Uttam Kumar Reddy said “It is clear that the SEC was following the directives of their political masters to try and finish polling on April 30, so that voters are not influenced by the likely adverse result for TRS in Nagarjunasagar by-election,”.
However, here it is to be noted that as the number of infections and deaths rose to new record highs in the country and in the State, the High Court of Telangana observed that the SEC was the body concerned to decide postponement of municipal elections, he said, adding that instead of deciding themselves on postponement of polls, the SEC referred to the Government of Telangana.
