Cabinet set to clear Presidents rule in Andhra Pradesh
- 5 years ago
In its last meeting before the general election, the Union Cabinet, on Friday, is likely to decide on whether or not to impose President's Rule in Andhra Pradesh.
The Cabinet has a heavy agenda as the government is keen to take decisions on a number issues, including draft ordinances of the pet anti-graft bills of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi. The government cannot take any policy decisions that would have a bearing on the election as the 'model of code of conduct' comes into effect once the Election Commission announces the poll schedule.
Andhra Pradesh Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan has asked former Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, who resigned on February 19 and quit the Congress, to continue in a caretaker role till further arrangements are made. President's Rule seems inevitable as neither the Congress, which has majority in the Assembly, nor any other party has staked claim to form government.
Last time new States were formed, it took the government three months — from the day of the gazette notification of the act — to fix the appointed day for creation of the States.
