New Delhi:
Five state elections scheduled early next year are unlikely to be postponed, sources said today, days after a court in Uttar Pradesh urged India’s powerful election body to defer the vote by a month or two over the Omicron worry.
The Election Commission is likely to stick to the schedule and follow the constitutional mandate of polls before the term of the state assemblies end. Elections are due in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur.
