Rajasthan Government Postpones Lottery to Determine Panchayat Election Ward Reservations

The lottery to determine the reservation of wards for the panchayat elections in Rajasthan has been suddenly postponed. On Monday (August 17) morning, it was to be a lottery to determine the reservation of wards. The reason behind this is stated to be the possibility of holding the elections in the second phase. The Congress has questioned this decision of the government. At the same time, the reservation lottery for wards in 309 urban bodies will be held on its own time. According to the government decision, the lottery to be held on Monday (August 17) and Tuesday (August 18) will now be held after a month on September 17 and 18. Let us tell you that the reservation lottery here does not mean choosing candidates in the elections, but reserving the seats of the wards for categories like Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes and women. The decision of the government means that now the election of urban local bodies and bodies of Panchayati Raj is hardly possible on Sunday. According to the decision of the government, now on September 17, the district panchayat president and sarpanch of the ward will be taken out by the secretary of the Panchayat Department and the secretary of the Panchayat Raj Department.
