On specific circumstances, the poll panel granted the state government permission to distribute the rabi installment within the model code of conduct period.

As part of the stipulation, the state was urged not to publicise the payout during the election period. telangana heads to the polls on november 30th. The ec notified the state's chief electoral officer of its intention to revoke its permit. The state finance minister made a public declaration concerning the distribution of rabi instalment payouts. "The disbursement will be made on monday," he allegedly remarked. The money will be deposited to the farmers' accounts even before they finish their breakfast and tea."


Following the approval, the officials promptly began the payout procedure, meeting the demands of farmers who had already begun Yasangi activities.
