Rahul Gandhi to fight for the rights of panchayats

Once again expressing his displeasure for not delegating power to panchayats in some of the states, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi declared that he would fight for empowerment of the panchayat bodies.  Rahul Gandhi always believed that country can not develop till democracy reaches the grass root and it will be possible if panchayats were given proper power and authority.

During the recent interaction with the panchayat representatives in Ranchi, Rahul Gandhi expressed his concern for the fact that panchayat members are not getting required power. "Rahulji was disappointed when he learnt that panchayat bodies have not yet got any power to execute developmental works," Congress leader said who had attended the interactive session said.

Jharkhand Youth Congress President Jai Mangal Singh attended a separate meeting in Bokaro, 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."
