March 07, 2014  21:20
The Election Commission today sent the mandatory recommendation for notifying the Lok Sabha poll dates to the Union law ministry, but the latter is reportedly upset over the "delay" that took place in this process.        

The recommendation was sent by the EC three days after it announced the schedule for the nine-phase polls beginning on April 7.      

Under Section 14 of the Representation of the People Act, the EC sends its recommendation to the government which requests the President to clear the notification of poll dates.
