HYDERABAD: There seems to be a question mark over the conduct of local body elections in Telangana after news of State Election Commissioner C Parthasarathi reportedly being quarantined.
Based on court orders, the Commission has sought the state government s opinion on whether the polls should be held or postponed.
On April 30th, elections for two corporations and five municipalities were scheduled.
For all intents and purposes, the SEC s inability to exercise his duties due to his quarantine has resulted in a major compromise on the fundamental principle of free and fair elections.
