Chandigarh : Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Partap Singh Bajwa here today met state Election Commissioner Shivinder Singh Brar and demanded postponement of the panchayat elections by at least 15 days.
While submitting a memorandum to Brar, Bajwa claimed notifications for the formation of new blocks and re-delimitation of certain other areas were issued as late as April 16 and April 18 and that the “voters were not even aware of it”. He also contended that currently the entire countryside was engaged in harvesting wheat crop, an exercise that was likely to continue another 15 days.
