The UPA Government cuts fuel prices for the second time in 45 days heralding the onset of the General elections....26/11 seems to be fading away with no concrete action taken by Pakistan till date.
Indicating for the first time a timeframe for the next general elections, Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi has said Lok Sabha elections will be held between April 8 and May 15. In 2004, general elections were held in four phases between April 20 and May 10. Since the 14th Lok Sabha completes its term on May 30 (having met for the first time on June 1, 2004), the House will have to be constituted before its expiry — the 15th Lok Sabha can meet by June 1. EC sources maintained that since March “is an examination month, with schools as polling booths, any such exercise is not possible at this time”. April-May is the only window available for the exercise with state elections to be held simultaneously in Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Sikkim.
