No chance at all: EC on simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly polls

AURANGABAD: Putting to rest all speculation, chief election commissioner OP Rawat on Thursday emphatically ruled out the possibility of holding simultaneous elections to the state assemblies along with the Lok Sabha polls without a "legal framework" in place.
"Koi chance nahi" (no chance at all), Rawat told a select media meet in Aurangabad when asked if it was still feasible to hold simultaneous Lok Sabha and state assembly elections.
The Lok Sabha elections are due in April-May next year while assembly polls to Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Rajasthan and Mizoram are scheduled to be held later this year.
