Lucknow: The Yogi Adityanath government has annulled the 2015 reservation order of the previous Akhilesh Yadav government, which rendered null and void the prevailing rotational seat reservation in rural local bodies. The decision was approved by the State cabinet on Tuesday evening.
According to the government spokesman, the then Samajwadi Party government had introduced the 10th amendment in the Panchayati Raj Rule to set aside reservation in seats. It had also conducted delimitation of the Gram Panchayats, Kshetra and Zila Panchayats in 71 districts, leaving four districts Gonda, Moradabad, Gautam Buddh Nagar and Sambhal out of the purview.
The Yogi cabinet has now mandated reservation of seats on a rotational basis which was in practice before 2015. The State cabinet has thus set the stage for a fresh rollout in the seat reservation.The cabinet also approved delimitation of four districts which were left untouched in 2015.
