NEW DELHI: The collapse of the suspension bridge at Morbi in Gujarat seems to have delayed the announcement of the state’s election schedule. However, if the assembly election has to be held along with Himachal Pradesh, the Election Commission (EC) must declare the poll schedule for the state by November 6.
EC held a press conference on October 14 to announce the election schedule for Himachal Pradesh. But it did not declare the poll dates for Gujarat. Except for 2017, EC has been announcing the poll schedule of the two states on the same day in every assembly election.
