The Cabinet meeting scheduled on Saturday has been postponed with the Election Commission of India (ECI) not responding to the permission sought by Chief Secretary Shanti Kumari.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, his cabinet colleagues and officers waited till the evening expecting the ECI to respond but that did not come forcing the government to postpone the meeting. Waiting till 7 p.m., the Chief Minister and the ministers left the Secretariat later.
The government will now wait till Monday for permission to conduct the meeting again, according to the Chief Minister. If the permission doesn’t come he would lead a delegation of ministers to meet the Chief Election Commissioner in New Delhi to seek permission.
