The Election Commission of India has decided to hold biennial elections to the graduates' and teachers' constituencies of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council on March 13th.

Referring to the ongoing Rachabanda program, Chief Electoral Officer Bhanwar Lal clarified to the media persons at the Secretariat on Tuesday that the EC was not aware of it, and it would be examined whether any policy scheme would attract and fall under the purview of the code of conduct.

The ministers addressing the Rachabanda are not expected to call on officers for participation even in the districts where elections are not held.

Any violation will attract punishment from the statutory provisions.
