Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Sunday called on Governor Biswabhusan Harichandan at the Raj Bhavan in Vijayawada and complained against the State Election Commissioner's "arbitrary" postponement of the polls to rural and urban local bodies.
The Chief Minister took strong exception to the decision of State Election Commissioner N Ramesh Kumar to put off the upcoming elections for six weeks in view of the spread of coronavirus.
The Chief Minister rushed to the Raj Bhavan for an unscheduled meeting with the Governor a couple of hours after the SEC announced its decision to put off the local bodies elections.
Later, Jagan told reporters that if required they would complain against the State Election Commissioner "further up" and seek necessary action "if there is no change in him."
