Asserting that he had never misused his discretionary powers, State Election Commissioner (SEC) N. Ramesh Kumar on Wednesday exhorted Andhra Pradesh government officials to make a concerted effort in the available time for the smooth conduct of gram panchayat elections in an apolitical manner.
If unanimous elections were found to be due to pressure or other electoral malpractices, stringent action would be taken against the Returning Officers and the Assistant Returning Officers.
“The past should be forgotten and focus laid on the road ahead as the elections are crucial and all possible cooperation must be extended to the commission that is fulfilling its constitutional mandate,” Mr. Ramesh Kumar said addressing District Collectors through video-conference.
