New Delhi, Nov 14: Chief Election Commissioner J M Lyngdoh today ruled out holding assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh before February next year, a period Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu wants. "Not before February. May be in March or beyond March," he told reporters who asked him whether the commission was in a position to hold the elections by February.

"Our objective is to have a proper election and not to have a quick and bad election. Our intention is to have a good election and not a quick election", he said shortly after the dissolution of the assembly by the state governor. Bureau Report
