Slim Chance For Early Polls In State 
The Election Commission (EC) has indicated that it would need at least six months for holding Assembly elections in the state. This has, thereby, ended all speculations being made in various circles, including the media, that elections to the Bihar Assembly could be held before the monsoon, or before the onset of the floods.
Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi on Monday said the commission would require a period of six months, as cushion, to get the poll process rolling till the final completion of the polls. Implicitly, for the elections to be held before monsoon, the polling process had to begin in full gear around December last year, which, however, has not happened. In fact, even as the election process is a continuing exercise, the first formal ground-level review of the poll preparedness at the EC-level began only last week, with the arrival of first EC deputy commissioner Vinod Zutshi on February 19, followed by that of Quraishi the next day. Earlier, the EC held discussions with state chief electoral officer (CEO) Sudhir Kumar Rakesh in Delhi. Source: Times Of India Slim chance for early polls in state Click on "Full Story" For More...

Moreover, a 12-member team of senior IAS officials, mustered from other states to be put on deputation as election observers in Bihar, had reached Patna a day before Zutshi with the express purpose to supervise the election process at the district level. It was the first phase of their visit and exercise, Quraishi said on Monday, adding: "They will also come later in the second phase for the same purpose."
Finally, to put all speculations regarding the likely mid-term poll in the state, Quraishi said, "For us, the election has to be held before November 23, 2010. It is routine meetings that we are having to put the election process going." CM Nitish Kumar had taken the charge of the state's affairs under the NDA government on November 24, 2005.
By that token, and as could be read from Quraishi's take on the matter, it is sheer impossible to hold elections before June 12, around which monsoon breaks in different parts of the state. "We can't hold elections during rainy season," Quraishi said, pointing out at the same time that the deadline for the EC was November 23, 2010.
