The state of Andhra Pradesh held urban local bodies elections on 30 March 2014. This included 10 Municipal Corporations, and 145 Municipal Councils and Nagar Panchayats (Notified Area Council). [3] Elections in the remaining bodies were not held due to issues such as court cases, delays in the preparation of electoral rolls, problems in the delimitation of wards, and the creation of new bodies.
On 3 February, the High Court criticized the government for not conducting the local bodies' elections despite clear directions to do so. The Court threatened to take action against the Chief Secretary of the state if they failed to comply with the orders. Despite going to the Supreme Court, the government received no respite. On 3 March, the State Election Commissioner announced that the elections would not receive the Governor's permission, due to the President's rule in the state.
