Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 8: MLA, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta has ridiculed the rhetoric by the Congress leadership for empowerment of panchayats in Jammu and Kashmir.
Commenting upon the strong protests by the surpanches and the Panches at the political rally of the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi here, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta said that it was deplorable to utilize the Panches and Sarpanches for this purpose.
He raised question mark on the wisdom of the party to force these people for a political show, especially when the Panchayat elections were held on non-party lines.
The protests of the village leaders was an obvious out bust of their anger, he added and warned to read written on the walls. He recalled that certain leaders of the ruling Congress have been parroting for a long time for empowerment of the Panchayats as also the local bodies. But despite expiry of about a decade now, little practical has been done on the ground, so much so even the election Process of the Panchayats has not been completed despite expiry of over forty months now. Contrary to these promises in and outside the legislature, no elections have been held to the civic bodies which were due in April 2010. |
