As the time for holding gram panchayat poll in former united Adilabad district draws closer, villagers are getting into election mode.
Voters in three tribal gram panchayats which consist of 100% Adivasi population have decided to elect their representatives unanimously.
The three gram panchayats in question -- Allikhori, Tippa and Hathigutta -- are located in Adilabad district and the first one is a new gram panchayat. While the villagers of Allikhori held a meeting to discuss the proposal of unanimous election on Tuesday, the aboriginal villagers of Tippa and Hathigutta went through the motion the previous day.
The villagers declared the names of persons who would be elected sarpanch, upa sarpanch and ward members at the end of the meetings. The names were announced so that it was taken note of by the voters all concerned that only they will file the nominations whenever the election is held.
The names of Mesram Jangu Patel and Sedmaki Gangaram found unanimity for the post of sarpanch and upa sarpanch at Allikhori.
Similarly, Madavi Kishan and Madavi Chandu will be the only candidates for sarpanch and upa sarpanch from Tippa and Gedam Chandu and Kodapa Sitaram will file nominations from Hathigutta.
