BREAKING: Lok Sabha poll announcement, Code of Conduct in the next 2 to 4 days

NEW DELHI: In an exclusive, Election Commission of India (ECI) sources told this website that the poll schedule could be announced anytime in the next two to four days and the Code of Conduct would come into force immediately.

In fact, one ECI source even claimed that the announcement would be made tomorrow (15th March), while another source said the announcement would be made on Sunday evening (17th March).

This would also throw a spanner into the finale of the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which is expected to wind up on 16th March in Mumbai with a mega rally on Sunday, 17th March at Shivaji Park attended by all the MVA constituents, including the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (Sharad Pawar) and their allies.

Either way, the ECI could make the poll announcement and schedule public anytime between the 15th March to the 17th March, unless of course something drastic comes up.

Two additional Election Commissioners are expected to be appointed in the next 2-3 days, which will bring the strength of the Election Commission to three.
