Indian polls likely in April

NEW DELHI: The general elections in India will most likely be conducted between April 10 and May 10, simultaneously with the assembly elections in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Sikkim.

According to sources, the Election Commission (EC) would formally announce this on Saturday or Sunday, as the logistics were finalised during a meeting with Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta on Tuesday. The present government, therefore, has three more days to make announcements, as its tenure ends once the election schedule is announced and the EC’s code of conduct for elections comes into force. iftikhar gilani
