Centre recommends dissolution of Andhra Pradesh Assembly

Officials sources said since three more phases of polling in the nine-phased Lok Sabha elections are yet to be completed, it is difficult to convene Parliament just for the ratification of the President's rule as most of the MPs are busy in electioneering.

Any proclamation under Article 356 imposing central rule needs to be ratified by Parliament within two months.

Sources pointed to a provision in the Constitution which says "any such Proclamation may be revoked or varied by a subsequent Proclamation".

President's rule was imposed in Andhra Pradesh on March 1 this year after N Kiran Kumar Reddy resigned as Chief Minister following Parliament's nod for bifurcation of the state to create Telangana state.
