The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to end the old rotation based reservation system in Village panchayats in the state. The State cabinet has taken this decision in the cabinet meeting in Lucknow today.
The new reservation system in village panchayat is being made effective through cabinet -by- circulation. After implementation of this rule the reservation process for Village panchayat head (pradhan ) and member will now be changed.
The state panchayat raj department’s Director Satyaveer Singh said that the new system is being adopted because it was felt that features and structures of Village panchayat has been significantly changed in last many years therefore it was decided to end the old rotation based reservation system in village panchayats and now the new rotation of reservation will take place.
However, criticizing government decision the state BJP has said that state has created two different reservation systems, one for district and block panchayats and another for village panchayats just to create dominance of Samajwadi Party at all levels.
