Uttarakhand: Politics heats up over Zila Panchayat president reservation, Congress preparing to go to court, BJP surrounded

The politics of the state has heated up over the reservation for the post of District President Panchayat. Recently, former state president of Congress Ganesh Godiyal had expressed the apprehension that if the government’s intentions were clear, it would have clarified the status of reservation before the counting of votes for the three-tier panchayat elections. After the release of the reservation list after the counting of votes, former state president of Congress Pritam Singh has also opened a front against it.

Pritam Singh said that the reservation in Dehradun has been tampered with to stop my son. Former metropolitan president of Congress Lalchand Sharma, who is considered close to him, alleged that it has now become clear that the Bharatiya Janata Party is suppressing political parties by using the government machinery across the country. Congress in the state is not going to be suppressed by BJP under any circumstances. He said that the way BJP has released the list of reservation for the post of District Panchayat President after the results of the three-tier panchayat elections, it raises a big question mark in itself.

He said that after the elections, the BJP government has implemented reservation against the rules on the posts of District Panchayat President. All the Congress colleagues are also discussing this. He said that objection will also be lodged against it within the district. Apart from this, Pritam Singh has said in clear words that if needed, the court will also be approached. Lalchand Sharma says that Congress is going to fight this battle with full strength.

Meanwhile, BJP’s media in-charge Manbir Chauhan said that Congress is shedding crocodile tears not because of reservation but because of worry about nepotism. He said that the Congress party, which was making false claims about the results of the Panchayat elections, is now shedding crocodile tears about reservation. He said that the real concern of Congress is about nepotism. All the leaders of the party are expressing support for this. Chauhan said that despite all the obstacles created by the Congress, the Election Commission conducted fair elections but now Congress is drowned in a new worry. He said that Congress is well aware that reservation will be done as per the rules.
