UNCOVERED: Telangana elections 2023 schedule comes as disappointment as govt cannot announce policy decisions now - The Untold Story

The announcement of schedule for the forthcoming election to the legislative assembly by the Election Commission of India is said to have come as a disappointment to the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) Government.

The State Government reportedly contemplated to hold a meeting of the Council of Ministers on September 29 for announcing certain policy decisions relating to new schemes as well as expediting the implementation of the ongoing schemes. All the departments were sounded about the Cabinet meeting and were asked to come up with comprehensive reports on the status of implementation of schemes under their purview so that improvements could be made.

However, the proposed Cabinet meeting could not take place as Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is reportedly indisposed. The Model Code of Conduct has become operational immediately after the announcement of the election schedule on Monday preventing the Government from announcing new schemes or forward looking statements.
