The
election commission (EC) dealt a serious blow to the current
ycp government in
andhra pradesh just before the state's election. The
election commission (EC) decided to defer the distribution of Andhra Pradesh's welfare plan payments till after the general elections.
chief minister of
andhra pradesh YS
jagan Mohan
reddy purposefully postponed paying out payments under several welfare schemes.
To sway the voters, they intended to deposit a total of about Rs. 14,165 crores into the recipients' accounts just before the election. The
ec, however, took issue with this action. The
government was questioned by the
ec on why, despite the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT system), benefit sums have not been disbursed promptly.
The
ec went on to say that the
government intends to distribute those monies just two days before the election, following the campaign.
ec declared, "This will be a blatant violation of the Model Code of Conduct." The
european Commission declared that following the polls on May 13, it will issue directives for the distribution of the funds for these benefit programs.
ec has shattered YCP's dreams.
