Thiruvananthapuram :The Election Commission on Friday blocked govt decision to distribute 10 kilo rice at fifteen rupees per kg to the priority segment. The EC action follows Opposition’s protest against the rice distribution.
The government decided to distribute 10 kg rice priced Rs 15/kg in March and April in view of Vishu and Easter festival way back.
The government notification toward festival distribution was released on 4 Feb - before elections were announced and code of conduct came into being.
The Opposition solely aims to block all kind of disbursements from government on pretext of elections. Incidentally, the Opposition leader has also lodged complaint with EC hoping to block the Vishu kits too. The present rice distribution ban is part of that attempt.
