It is good to see that the government is set on dissolving assemblies so that procedures for holding the elections can begin. Earlier, the government had denied the possibility of holding elections as per the latest census because the results had not been notified, and a few irreconcilable differences remained.

This is something that the government cannot afford, especially after promises of timely elections.
