Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi,
has expressed his concerns that in some states like Jammu and Kashmir and Jharkhand there are no
proper implementation of Panchayati raj. He pledged to fight for empowerment of
the rural bodies.
"Panchayat elections were held in Jammu and Kashmir, but power has not been
delegated to the rural bodies. And in Jharkhand also panchayats have not got
power," he said at a meeting or Jharkhand Pradesh Youth Congress meeting
in Bokaro on Thursday.
Jharkhand Youth Congress president Jai Mangal Singh said,
"Rahulji told us he would fight for the rights of panchayats after he
learnt that devolution of powers has not yet taken place in Jharkhand."
"Rahulji was disappointed when he learnt that panchayat
bodies have not yet been given power to execute developmental work in Jharkhand
too even after nearly two years of elections," said another Congress
leader.
During his just-concluded meeting with the panchayat
representatives in Ranchi,
Rahul Gandhi wondered why panchayat members did not get power soon after
elections when MPs and MLAs get power soon after election.
