Annual Plan Sabotage; LDF representatives staged a dharna

Ayanchery: The LDF people’s representatives to the panchayat office in protest against the decision of the management committee to approve the 2022-23 annual plan of the panchayat by writing it from outside without even discussing it in the management committee meeting, and against the action of not providing member marks or recording the minutes of the management committee meeting in the Sakarma software so that it can be seen by the public. Dharna was held in front.

The budget related to this year’s project was not presented in the Gram Sabhas, Planning Committee, Working Groups or Development Seminar. Even the panchayat members do not know what the plans are for this year.

The minutes of the last four executive committee meetings have not been written yet. LDF members allege that the process of public planning has been completely sabotaged. Dharna was inaugurated by LDF Kuttyadi Constituency Convenor KK Narayanan. Standing Committee Chairman TV Kunhiraman presided.

VT Balan, Anyoth Sreedharan, KK Rajan, CH Hameed, TP Damodaran, K. Soman, MK Nanu, Sudha Suresh, T. Sajith, Sreelatha NP, P. Ravindran, Lisa Poonayakot and Prabitha Anioth spoke.

But President Kattil Moitu accused that the LDF’s rhetoric of struggle is to create a smokescreen and take political advantage. He said that all the procedures were completed and all the figures were correctly presented to the management committee for the annual plan as per the government guidelines.
