Urging for early steps for implementing the provisions of 73rd constitutional amendment, Singh sought early constitution of Block Development Councils (BDCs) and district Planning and Development Boards (DPDBs). He also demanded due reservation for women, Scheduled castes and Scheduled Tribes in the BDCs and in district Boards in consonance with the spirit of 73rd Amendment. Urging for early release of honorarium in favour of Sarpanches and Panches and Panchayati Adalats, he said that govt should consider release of their arrears of remuneration @ Rs. 2000 p/m for Sarpanches and Rs 1000 p/m for Panches from the date of constitution of Panchayats in terms of corresponding provisions of Panchayati Raj Act. He further demanded release of Rs. 10 lakh to each Panchayat for undertaking developmental activities as repeatedly announced.
