The hyper-patriotic heat over Indo-Pak aerial battles is diminishing. Other issues are getting more attention. The Election Commission has notified polling dates, so its model code of conduct for political parties is in force. This says no new projects or welfare schemes can be announced or implemented before the election.

What does this imply for the pre-election PM-Kisan scheme, announced in the budget? Pre-election budgets are usually just votes on account. But the budget this time included an annual grant of Rs 6,000 per family for farm-owners of up to two hectares. Moreover, this was made retroactive, so that the first instalment of Rs 2,000 could be paid in March, within the financial year 2018-19, although the budget speech related to the next year, 2019-20.

Another instalment of Rs 2,000 per family is proposed to be paid in April, which will be in the next financial year. Will that violate the model code of conduct? Congress spokesmen complain that even the March instalment of Rs 2,000 was an unwarranted retrospective budget act. They argue that a second instalment of Rs 2,000 in April would be an attempt to buy the coming election, and will be against the model code of conduct.
