Congress leaders looking for a black cat in a dark room: Eshwarappa
Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister K.S. Eshwarappa on Wednesday expressed displeasure over the State Election Commission hurriedly announcing the reservation list for zilla panchayat and taluk panchayat posts. Speaking to presspersons here, Mr. Eshwarappa said that the State Cabinet held a meeting in this regard and also wrote to the Election Commission requesting it too postpone the announcement of reservation fearing the further spread of COVID-19, but the Election Commission turned down the government’s request. “The State government had no other motive in seeking postponement of the poll process but people in rural areas have been affected the most due to the pandemic; however, the government is ready to conduct the poll exercise anytime,” the Minister said.More Related News
