Makkal Needhi Maiam president Kamal Haasan on Sunday said merely increasing the number of grama sabha meetings would not help if the resolutions passed there were not executed.
On National Panchayat Raj day, he virtually addressed his party cadres and media, and stressed on the importance of grama sabhas. Mr. Haasan acknowledged the announcement by the State government that the grama sabha count would be increased to six times a year and that the sitting fees of the ward members would see a five-fold increase.
However, he expressed concerns over streamlined execution and transparency and insisted that the minutes of every grama sabha meeting should be uploaded online for the common man to see.
