At a meeting convened here on Tuesday, he assured representatives of the parties that the election machinery would respond swiftly, impartially and effectively to resolve all the complaints that might come up during the period.

The meeting, which was also attended by the Chief Electoral Officer, Mr M. Narayana Rao, and the Director General of Police, Mr S.R. Sukumara, discussed the model code of conduct, security arrangements, electoral rolls and election expenditure.
