New Delhi: The Election Commission (EC) has asked the Narendra Modi-led government to respond to the demand of the Opposition to postpone the Union Budget in view of upcoming polls in five states.
Earlier, the Opposition leaders had met Election Commission in New Delhi on Thursday to demand announcement of Budget after Assembly elections in the five states.
The Opposition has objected to the fact that the polls will be held three days after the Budget announcement on February 1.
Five states - Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Punjab, Manipur and Uttarakhand - will go to polls between February-March.
