The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) National President N. Chandrababu Naidu wrote a letter to Governor S. Abdul Nazeer about the violation of the Model Code of Conduct in the State.
In the letter dated May 14 (Tuesday), Mr. Naidu said that it was reliably learnt that the State government was planning to release huge amounts of funds to certain select contractors without following the first in first out (FIFO) bills clearance procedure.
Earlier also, just before the Model Code of Conduct for the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections was announced, the government had released large amounts to various contractors by withholding the release of funds for the committed welfare programmes under the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), which were long overdue, he alleged.
