Yadagirigutta Panchayat Elections History
Yadagirigutta Grampachayat is mixed with two villages i.e. Yadagiripally and Gundlapally of Yadagirigutta Mandal, Nalgonda Dist.
1952 to 1995 - Vemula Laxmi Narsaiah (Continually 42 years) (Congress Supported)
1995 to 2010 - Kairamkonda Sridevi (Continually 15 years) (TDP Supported)
Now we have to wait and see who will be next sarpanch, due to reservation above both are not in contesting.
mean while, a intresting story about Yadagirigutta Grampachayat published in Indian Express on 15-07-2013 is as follows: ( Direct Link here )
The Yadagirigutta village was constituted as a grama panchayat with a
population of 6,000 and was later converted as a major grama panchayat.
Its present population is 17,362, of whom 9,653 are voters.
The
panchayat raj system was introduced in 1952 and Vemula Lakshmi Narsaiah
of the village was elected as the first sarpanch and had been re-elected
unanimously continuously for 42 years thereafter. In accordance with
the rule of reservation that came into force in 1995, the village
sarpanch post was reserved for backward class women (BC women).
Therefore, Lakshmi Narsimhaiah has not contested the post since 1995.
When
he was sarpanch of the village, Narsimhaiah received a galaxy of
dignitaries and top leaders of the country. They included the country’s
presidents Rajendra Prasad, Sarvepalli Radhakrishna and Shankar Dhayal
Sharma, and many governors of the state. As sarpanch, he initiated and
undertook a number of developmental activities in Yadagirigutta. He
submitted several representations to the late prime minister PV
Narasimha Rao on schemes for development of the village. Narsimhaiah
set a record as he served the village sarpanch for 42 long years
continuously.
After the post of the sarpanch of Yadagirigutta
reserved for BC (Women), Kairamkonda Sridevi was elected as the first
woman sarpanch in 1995 and has been re-elected continuously ever since
for 15 years.
Interestingly, Sridevi was elected as saranch once
in the capacity of BC (Women), second time in the BC (General) category
and for the third time again as BC (General).
Now, for the
forthcoming elections, the Yadagirigutta sarpanch post has been reserved
for SC (General) candidates and neither Lakshmi Narsaiah nor K.Sridevi
can contest the post now.
