Simultaneous polls may not be possible: KCR

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday said the Central government's "one nation one election" plan doesn't seem possible because a majority of political parties may not agree.

"It doesn't look possible because so many (parties) may not agree. It's a multipolar country, not a unipolar country," he told reporters when asked about the proposal for simultaneous elections to the Parliament and state assemblies.

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) President feels that it should be left to the wisdom of respective state governments.

"The Government of India can give some free advice. I have seen (Union Minister) Dharmendra Pradhan's statement. His advice is very good. He can advise BJP Chief Ministers first," said Rao when asked about the Minister's suggestion.

"It's not the question of my supporting or not. The question is things are not clear. Let the Government of India put forth its proposal, then people will think (about it)," he added.
