The election code is firmly in place in the twin Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. While AP is heading for assembly and parliamentary election, Telangana is preparing for the parliament elections.
However on a very strange note, the Election Commission has done something very interesting with regard to the cash transfer propositions forwarded by the Congress government in Telangana and YSRC government in Andhra Pradesh.
While the government of Telangana, led by Revanth Reddy was permitted to carry out the Rythu Bandhu scheme in Telangana, the Jagan government was halted in disbursing Rs 620 crores to the economically weaker sections.
The EC permitting the DBT scheme in Telangana and rejecting a similar fiscal program in Andhra Pradesh is leaving everyone puzzled about the nature of the thought process that goes into the imposition of electoral regulations.
