"As of now, the schedule is that the National Youth Games will be held in May. If state assembly elections are held at that time, we have to reschedule it," IOA secretary-general Randhir Singh said.
Everything depends on the dates of the elections. Once the dates are announced, a final decision will be taken on the dates of the Youth Games.
More than 6000 athletes are expected to take part in 24 disciplines in the Games.
The disciplines are archery, athletics, badminton, basketball, boxing (boys), cycling, equestrian, football, fencing, gymnastics, handball, hockey, judo, kabaddi, kho-kho, tennis, shooting, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, triathlon, volleyball, weightlifting and wrestling (boys). Sportspersons born on or after January 1, 1990 are eligible to take part in the event.
