Matter of concern that a State conducted polls inside another’s boundary: Pradhan
A day after Andhra Pradesh held an election in a disputed region in Odisha’s Koraput district, Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday said it was a matter of concern that a State had conducted panchayat elections inside another State’s geographical boundary.
“It may be Andhra Pradesh or any other States, the interstate-State boundary dispute is creating bad blood. If the Odisha government does not take step in time to resolve the issue, we may have to face problem,” Mr. Pradhan said on Twitter.
“The government has taken legal steps. I hope the government takes it to logical end. The administrations need to strengthen development projects and government services,” he said.
