Opposition parties welcome SC verdict on GP polls

Vijayawada, Jan 25 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday resolved the stalemate on conducting the Gram Panchayat (GP) elections by squashing the Andhra Pradesh government's petition.
In fact, the GP elections scheduled to be conducted in the last week of March 2020 but were deferred by State Election Commissioner (SEC) Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar few days before the polling date, citing the Coronavirus as reason, without consulting the state government which angered the Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The Chief Minister even attributed caste motives to the SEC while addressing a press conference.
Since then the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy headed state government the Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar headed SEC have been at loggerheads. The State government sacked the SEC and appointed a retired Madras high court judge.
