Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday promised implementation of the Constitution’s Fifth Schedule and the Panchayat (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act in tribal regions of Gujarat if the AAP is voted to power in the state.
The Fifth Schedule of the Constitution deals with provisions related to the administration and control of scheduled areas and scheduled tribes. At the same time, Parliament enacted the PESA Act in 1996 to ensure self-governance for people living in Scheduled Areas. The states were required to formulate rules to effectively implement the Act to strengthen gram sabhas in Scheduled Areas.
