Purpose Of Local Body Elections - Guest - 10-03-2006
We all aware that Local Body Elections are due in Tamil Nadu. I have seen in my experiences that Local Bodies formed ( Ward Members and Municipal Chairmans) are mostly the people who are all from economically challenged society but who wanted to do something for the society. 100 out of 80 people who sworn as a Ward Member or Chairman are coming from families who doesn't even have enough things for their survival. Most of these people are self-depenendent and non-party winners.
But, I am wondering if I could do something for these people by educating them about what they really can achieve in the polictical environment. They should be knowing about their roles and responsibilities in the constitution.
Is anybody out here can help me in providing following informations :-
1. Any websites or books that describes about their roles and responsibilty.
2. Any websites or books that describes about how a normal people can use these government servents in proper way.
3. Any new ammendments related to this issue
and many more ..
Thanks,
Vadivel Kumar
I am eagerly looking for this information.

BSP to abstain from UP local body polls
Vijay Upadhyay | Agra
Taking an unprecedented stand on the local body elections being held in Uttar Pradesh, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has decided to abstain from contesting these elections warning the aspiring candidates that they will neither get the party flag nor the "elephant" as a symbol of party support. The elections in Uttar Pradesh will be held in three phases on October 28, October 31 and November 3. Elections to 193 municipalities would be held in the first phase while the 12 municipal corporations would go to polls on October 31. Elections to 420 town areas would be held in the third phase on November 3.
Talking to The Pioneer, Kaptaan Singh Kushwah, Coordinator, Agra parliamentary seat of the BSP said that this decision had been taken in party interest after the experience of the previous Zila Panchayat elections held in the state when the BSP had lost a great deal of elected members to defections into the Samajwadi Party.

V Kumar: Check this thread on Democratic & Administrative Reforms. At somepoint, we'll merge the two threads.
