Terror postpones election in state
The recent terror attacks on Mumbai has led to several serious political consequences all over the country and Andhra is no exception. The Home Minister of the country has been forced to resign and Chidambaram appointed as the new Home Minister. It is very likely that the Chief Minister of Maharashtra should also ’sacrifice’ his seat.
Coming to Andhra, though not a direct impact there was an indirect impact. Given that Congress is ruling at the central level it is quite obvious that this party will be held responsible for these attacks. So, if elections are held in the near future Congress might have to bear the effect of these attacks.
So Congress has decided to postpone the elections in the state till April to buy itself some time to regain the confidence among people. Previously the elections were scheduled to be held in February 2008
