Hi Floriano, Very educative post, as usual. Although you entirely missed out one important party in this façade, the Director of Panchayats, what is his role in all this ? If the Panchayat, as reluctantly as possible, puts up the proposal at the Gram Sabha and is rejected. Why does the DoP gets involved in a democratic process of the People ? Does he have the right over the Gram Sabha ? If so, what is the point of having a Gram Sabha ? In the matters of filling pockets too, you missed a very important party, the main culprits are the Secretaries at the Panchayats, the most corrupt, especially in the rural areas where the BC's are in a majority. As you mentioned, incompetent persons get elected to the Panchayat and the Secretaries take advantage of this situation and make hay while the sun shines. In most cases, it's not so much, the Sarpanch but the Secretary that does the "God Act". Get the Secretaries straightened out and 75 % of "hira pheri" will be disappear and Panchayats will be better organized and perform better. We should first get to the root of the problem Freddy Agnelo Fernandes -------------------------------------------------------- The content of this electronic communication is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and any others who are specifically authorized to receive it.
