Upender Paswan elected Mukhia again: Chakauti's hopes associated with him

Paaswaan elected Mukhia again:an defeated Nagender Ram

Chakauti Panchayat Election Results 2011

Upender Paswan elected Chakauti Mukhiya for the second time.  He has great plans. He has vowed to get Chakauti Village connected by good motorable tar road with the Block Offices at Bokhra and Nanpur.  This will uplift the lives of villagers not only in Banrahi tola and Darrima tola, but also Bharaon and Katraul.  The road connecting Darrima  with Mushhari Tola and Malahtoli of Chakauti are also planned to be upgraded.

However the Government does not yet have any plans

to connect Pandit Tola with the village either through 

motorable road or through electricity connection.

Bindessar Paswan, Grand Old Man in his eighties, today still carries the heavy burden on his head, not only of his farm products but also of the problems faced by villages. He has incessantly worked through out his life for upliftment of his communinity.  His son, Upender Paswan Mukhiya,  has kept himself away from the village, but not from politics, for fear of  physical assaults from his opponents. His mother is busy in her house hold  activities & waiting for her son's return to the village.

Vinod Manjhi, former  Mukhiya had an uphill task this time.  Govt's Rural Development Assistance  reached few BPL families under his regime.He developed large number of rivals. http://chakautivillage.blogspot.com/2011/05/mukhiya-ji.html


There were nine candidates for  Mukhiya's post, namely

1) विनोद माझी

2) बुलंद माझी

3) राम अवतार माझी

4) उपेंदर पासवान

5) रजिंदर पासवान

6) ललित पासवान

7) श्याम राम

8) फूल बदन देवी 

9) शांति देवी 

Some of them have long criminal records having served several years of prison on criminal charges.   

Nagendra Jha, Earstwhile Chakauti Mukhia of 20th Century has larger political views and ambitions. He is quite active in Congress Politics.He had written a detailed Election Manifesto on behalf of Indian National Congress for the purpose of Bihar Assembly Elections in 2010 and forwarded it to Ms. Sonia Gandhi, the Congress President. Bihar Congress Chief Coordinator had offered him a ticket for the Assembly Elections.  However, in his selfless style, he recommended the name of Shri Gajadhar Thakur for the ticket, who eventually lost the seat. Other ex-Mukhiyas, who have clean records, though desire to continue in village politics, are debarred on the grounds of belonging to the majority population upper castes.

Vasudha Kendra, Paktola : Heralding electronic era in Chakauti

Md. FAREED of

 Sahaj Vasudha Kendra

responsible for the Panchayat Activity Records to be kept electronically with  Vasudha Kendra in  the Govt.'s new bid to prevent corruption and profiteering by Panchayat Representatives and others while working out Govt's Rural Development  Programmes. Despite his untiring efforts, has done little in this direction  because no one cooperates with him in providing the data for  electronic records.

 

Vasudha Kendra is a great utility, specially with the help of Sahaj Programmes, which provides Railway bookings etc. for the Rural Population.
