The Election Commission has summoned Andhra Pradesh’s chief secretary and Director General of Police (DGP) to personally explain on Thursday the administration’s failure to contain incidents of post-poll violence in the State.
The top Andhra Pradesh officials have been asked to appear at the commission’s headquarters in the national capital, EC sources said on Wednesday.
They will also be asked about pre-emptive steps being taken to avoid any such incidents in the future, the sources added.
