Fact Check-

We started our investigation by running a keyword search on Google to find news reports related to  the announcement of dates of the assembly elections to be held in Assam and other states. We could not find any relevant results for the same.

We came across an article published by the Times of India on 2^nd March 2011 ,which stated that Assam goes to the polls on April 4^th and 11th and that the state was under the model of conduct with immediate effect. This confirms that the published dates are old.
