Farm Loan Waiver and DA Release Drama - KCR Government Faces Election Heat.!

Sindujaa D N
The Central election commission has intervened once again in a decision made by the kcr government during the ongoing elections. Notably, the issue of waiving farmer loans was already under the commission's review. Now, the commission has halted another move by the government, specifically the request to grant permission to release Dearness Allowances (DAs) to government employees. However, the commission has not granted this permission.

Numerous letters have been pouring in from employee union leaders, all seeking permission from the commission. Suspicions have arisen that these letters might be orchestrated by the government or the BRS party, prompting the commission to inquire whether there is ample time to release the DAs. Surprisingly, there has been no response from the government.


The government currently owes employees three DAs, which should have been paid in 2022. Financial constraints led the government to withhold these DAs. Despite repeated appeals from employees, the government had ignored their pleas. Strangely, once the election process commenced, the government suddenly remembered to grant DAs to employees and sought permission from the election Commission.


The commission rejected this request, raising doubts about the government's sincerity. It appears that this sudden action on the DAs is an attempt to sway employee sentiment, making it seem like the commission is obstructing the disbursement. A similar drama unfolded concerning farmer loan waivers, which only gained momentum a few months before the elections despite the issue lingering unaddressed for years. In both cases, the commission has acted to ensure a fair electoral process.
