In the Light of The Supreme Court order staying the poll process on seats reserved for OBCs in the Madhya Pradesh panchayat , the State cabinet here on Sunday decided to withdraw the ordinance brought to annul the process of delimitation and reservation rotation set by the previous government in 2019.
The cabinet’s decision to withdraw the ordinance is likely to pave the way for cancellation of the panchayat poll process in the state. The present BJP government in MP had brought the ordinance last month to annul the process of delimitation and reservation rotation set by the previous Congress-led government in 2019.
On the basis of this ordinance, the panchayat election process was started as per the delimitation and reservation rotation of 2014.
Notably, the Madhya Pradesh Assembly on Thursday unanimously passed a resolution, which stated that no panchayat polls will be held in the state without reservation for the OBCs. CM Chouhan, who is also the Leader of the House, proposed the resolution saying the State Government wants every section of the Society to get Justice.
