Elections to the municipal corporations of Kakinada, Guntur, Kurnool, Ongole and Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh are unlikely to be held this year.
The polls were originally scheduled to be held in March 2014, but the government kept it pending due to various reasons, including court cases. Now, even as the government had decided to hold the elections to these civic bodies along with the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) in September-October, it could not complete the revision of the voters' lists and survey of BC voters.
