The State authorities will move the Supreme Court towards the Andhra Pradesh High Court’s judgment on the conduct of the local body polls within the State, Roads and Buildings Minister Malagundla Sankaranarayana stated right here on Thursday.
“Giving green signal to the conduct of local body elections by the division bench of the High Court is very unfortunate. Keeping in view the health of people and government employees in the wake of coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing vaccination drive, the State government will soon take a decision on when to approach the apex court,” stated the Minister.
‘Stiff opposition’
Hindupur MP Gorantla Madhav stated that the federal government had been protecting away from holding the elections in view of the stiff opposition by the non-gazetted officers and different authorities workers to get entangled within the local body polls.
“The government employees have already announced their inability to get involved in the elections. They are meeting the Governor to prevail upon the State Elections Commissioner to put off the local body polls,” he noticed.
