The ECI announced the poll schedule for the Himachal Pradesh assembly only while the dates for the Gujarat assembly election were not made public yet. The assembly polls in the two states have always been held simultaneously because the tenure of the two assemblies expires 40 days apart. CEC Rajiv Kumar said that the decision to defer Gujarat polls was taken after consultation with all stakeholders and no rules had been violated.
