Diglipur, 25 July: After having clean sweep in Panchayat elections now Bharatiya Janta Party unit of Diglipur is using the Panchayat building for party purposes, it is learnt.
BJP is organizing Mandal Committee meeting in 7 panchayats but instead of organizing the meeting private places or community halls, the party organizing the meetings in Panchayat offices.
Yesterday the BJP organized the Mondal Committee meeting at Kerala Puram Gram Panchayat office.
The meeting was attended by Pradhan Kerala Puram Shankar Das, BJP District President K Srinivasan, UP Pramukh Suniti Haldar, ZP member Subhash gram Manoj Pal, BJP District General Secretary Asit, Ward Member Raji and other villagers. In the meeting various works of Pradhan and other party issues were discussed.
Crying foul over such misuse of government building by a political party, the ZP member of the area, J Boby has said that as per Order of Director of Panchayat a room for ZP member should be allotted on request of ZP member which was not fulfilled yet but the present Pradhan utilizing the Panchayat for party purposes.
Villages allege that in any case a Panchayat Office can’t be used for a particular political party as the Panchayat is made for all villagers. Such party meetings in government office will only shake the faith of public on the present system.
