The NDA government may convene a special session of Parliament to move a constitutional amendment bill on simultaneous elections or do so in the coming winter session, a Telangana BJP leader claimed today.

Telangana BJP spokesperson Krishna Saagar Rao said there is a possibility of the government moving a constitutional amendment bill for the Representation of the People Act in the winter session or convening a special session for the purpose.

"BJP is for simultaneous elections; we are still pursuing and we have not given up on that," Rao told PTI.

He also said it "looks very clear by the signs and moves" that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is making that his intention is to advance assembly elections.

"However, BJP does not think it (advancing assembly elections) is a possibility."
