Hyderabad: Telangana assembly elections are likely to be held any time after June. According to the sources, the Election Commission can take steps to take control of the state any time after June

According to the rules, the Election Commission can issue a notification with an election schedule six months before the completion of the term of the Assembly in any state.

Political pundits say that Election Commission in Telangana has the power to release the schedule of elections after June and the commission officials in the city have also reviewed the preparations for the assembly elections a couple of days back.
