Congress leaders in Kotia, Odisha, have demanded that the election notification issued for Andhra Pradesh be withdrawn, calling it inappropriate and urging state authorities to act.
Congress representatives gathered in Kotia, Odisha, on Monday and formally requested the state administration to rescind the election notification that pertains to Andhra Pradesh. The party described the notice as misplaced and potentially disruptive to local governance.
The notification, issued by Andhra authorities, was reportedly posted in Kotia, prompting concerns about jurisdictional overreach. Congress officials argued that such an external electoral directive has no legal standing within Odisha and could create confusion among residents.
State officials have not yet issued a public response to the demand. The Congress party said it will continue to press the administration until the notification is withdrawn, emphasizing the need to respect state boundaries and electoral processes.
