The current YCP government in AP has taken a sensational decision to bring in changes to the Panchayati Raj Act and issue another ordinance as the current ordinance is about to expire. The Local Election Ordinance, which had earlier amended the Panchayati Raj Act on February 20, came into enforcement. However, the ordinance is expected to become law within six months. But the AP government has once again issued an ordinance on amendments to the Panchayati Raj Act in the wake of the expiration of the six-month-old rule.

Although the Ordinance Bill amending the Panchayati Raj Act in the last Assembly sessions was passed in the Legislative Assembly, it was not brought in the Legislature. As a result, the ordinance did not become law. Then the AP government mainly focused on the decentralization bill and the CRDA repeal bills so the amendment bill made in the Panchayati Raj Act was not passed in the council. The AP government has issued another ordinance following the expiry of the six-month period by August 20.

It is a known fact that the AP government brought in an ordinance before the local body elections on the reforms made by the AP government enforcing strict rules in local body elections. It is learned that the MPTCs in this ordinance also shortened the duration of the election process from 13 to 15 days. In the local body elections, tough decisions were taken to seduce the people and take strict action against the candidates who distributed money and liquor.
