ECI asks Telangana govt to stop Rythu Bandhu disbursements until polls are over

Hindustan Times  

The Election Commission of India has instructed Telangana’s Bharat Rashtra Samithi government to stop all disbursements under the Rythu Bandhu scheme for farmers until the model code of conduct is lifted in the poll-bound state “in all its form”. In October 2018, the ECI approved disbursement under the Rythu Bandhu scheme during the assembly election provided that the scheme was not publicised and no public function was organised for the disbursement. The ECI noted that there is no fixed date for the disbursement of Rabi installments of the Rythu Bandhu assistance and it happened any time between October and January in the last five years. The EC gave its no-objection provided the government followed the October 2018 direction and that no direct benefit transfer assistance was affected during the silence period and the poll day.
