Election Commission Orders Telangana Government To Stop Farmer Scheme | Read
Hours after the Election Commission withdrew the permission it had given to the Telangana government to continue disbursing funds under a farmer assistance scheme during the model code of conduct, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi has said that doing so will cause irreparable loss to the farmers and requested the panel to reconsider its decision. The reason given by the Election Commission for pausing the financial aid to farmers under the Rythu Bandhu scheme was that a state minister had violated the conditions for the permission by making a public announcement about the release of funds under the scheme while the model code of conduct was in force.
