New Delhi: Chief Election Commissioner Sushil Chandra on Friday said the Election Commission would be visiting poll-bound Uttar Pradesh next week and review the situation.
“Next week, we will go to Uttar Pradesh and review the situation there. Then take an appropriate decision,” CEC Sushil Chandra said at a press conference in Dehradun during a two-day visit to Uttarakhand to review the preparations for the Assembly elections in the state.
He was speaking a day after the Allahabad High Court urged the Prime Minister to postpone the upcoming UP Assembly polls due to the Omicron threat.
Asked about the Allahabad High Court’s request, Chandra said he had been informed that Uttarakhand had one case of Omicron so far. He reiterated the EC’s measures for making elections Covid-safe and said the Commission would take action as per the Constitution and the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
On Thursday, the Allahabad High Court urged the Prime Minister to “take strong steps” and consider “stopping and postponing” rallies, meetings and elections.
