Mysore/Mysuru: “State BJP-led Government by bringing an amendment to Karnataka Grama Swaraj and Panchayat Raj Act- 1993 has curtailed the powers to Gram Panchayat (GP) members. The Government has curtailed the financial power given to GP Presidents by withdrawing the signature power of GP Presidents with respect to financial transactions. The Government must drop this amendment and allow the rights of elected representatives,” demanded MLC Dr. D. Thimmaiah.
He was speaking to press persons at Pathrakartara Bhavan on Saturday.
