Panchayat, ULB Polls In J&K Soon After Process Of OBC Reservation Concludes: LG Sinha

BARAMULLA, Jan 16:  On Tuesday, Manoj Sinha, the lieutenant governor of Jammu and Kashmir, declared that panchayat and urban local body elections would "definitely" take place in the Union territory following the implementation of the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) reservation. He claimed that people who denied local bodies funding while they were in power were now politicising the matter and calling for a return to the previous state of affairs, but "we will not allow that." "I wish to inform my colleagues who served as panchs, sarpanches, and ULB representatives that the administration has begun the process of reserving seats for other backward classes, as required by the constitution following the enactment of the State Reorganisation Act."I want to reassure you that ULBs and Panchayat elections would undoubtedly be held in Jammu and Kashmir following the conclusion of this exercise. Here, Sinha stated, "I want to state that they will undoubtedly be held. Speaking to a crowd, he had just opened a stadium in the Baramulla area of north Kashmir that bears the name of General Bipin Rawat, the nation's first chief of military staff. People are aware of their objectives, according to Sinha, who said that some were engaging in political posturing due to the votes' prolonged delay. Politics is being played by some on the topic. People who strangled Panchayats and ULBs are now beginning to recall them. I don't want to say anything, but I believe that everyone in this room is well aware of those individuals' identities and motivations.He declared, "I want to assure you that we will not allow Panchayats to return to the same situation and that everything should happen through them." He urged everyone to take part in Republic Day ceremonies and fly the tricolour proudly, especially the younger generation. "I implore you to participate heavily in the 'Jhanda Ooncha Rahay Hamara' initiative. "I desire for Tiranga to fill the skies above Baramulla," he declared.
