Sagar: There is a Gram Panchayat in Madhya Pradesh where elections are being held unopposed for not one, two but the last seven times. For the seventh consecutive time, panch-sarpanches have all been elected unopposed. The name of this Gram Panchayat is Pipariya Gopal Gram Panchayat. This gram Panchayat, which falls in Rahali district of Sagar district, did not have a vote for 32 years. Women have been elected to 16 posts of Panch and Sarpanch. People said that as soon as the date of the election is finalized, all the people of the village gather at Narayan Dham temple and all the posts are selected here.
The meeting at the Narayan Dham temple takes place a day before the filing of nominations. In this meeting, the elders, the old and the young all participate and take a pledge that whatever the village elders decide, it has to be followed. The sarpanch is elected unopposed after discussing all his merits and demerits. All those who make their claim in the election are called to this meeting. Then, it is seen how good this candidate is. It doesn't drink anywhere. How much faith he has in God. How it behaves towards society. Then it's on that basis that one is elected.
