A dispute has emerged within the Mukhiya Sangh of Kutumba block in Aurangabad district regarding the formation of its president's post. In a significant meeting held on Friday at the Sanda Panchayat Bhawan, 11 mukhiyas and their representatives expressed solidarity with Sikandar Yadav, the mukhiya of Bairaon Panchayat.

The meeting, chaired by Mukhiya Shyam Bihari Rai, focused on the formation of the association, the selection of its president, and maintaining unity. Attendees clarified that Sikandar Yadav was unanimously elected as the association's president in a previous meeting held on October 10. However, former president Manjeet Kumar Yadav has questioned this selection process, claiming that the requisite number of members were not present, and the quorum was not met.

In response, members present at the current meeting rejected Manjeet Yadav's objection. They stated that out of 20 panchayats in Kutumba block, 11 mukhiyas and their representatives support Sikandar Yadav, fulfilling the quorum requirement. Members also emphasized that maintaining mutual coordination and unity within the association is their top priority.

They have also demonstrated their unity before the Block Development Officer (BDO) and called for dispelling any confusion regarding the association's formation and leadership. The members believe that all organizational matters should be resolved through mutual consent and democratic processes. Mukhiyas and representatives from Dumri, Karma Basantpur, Pipra Bagahi, Verma, Risiyap, Maharajganj, Dadhpa, Matpa, and Sanda panchayats were present, reiterating their commitment to working together on development and public interest issues.
