TS government to distribute Bathukamma sarees on Dec 19

 The Telangana government which was supposed to distribute Bathukamma sarees in October first week has stalled it after the EC denied the move as election code of conduct was in place. Over 95 lakh sarees have been sent to go downs following the EC's decision.

After the TRS party emerged victorious in the elections and formed the government, it has decided to distribute the sarees next week.

It is also learned that the government has decided to finish up the process by January for the conduct of Panchayat elections in the state. The supreme court has directed the two states Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to hold Panchayat elections by January 10.

As the election code of conduct will be in place 20 days before the elections, the state government has decided to distribute the sarees next week.
