Tamil Nadu panchayat auctions two posts for Rs 65 lakh

泰米尔纳德邦村务委员会以650万卢比拍卖两个职位

In an open violation of the country’s de ocratic principles and electoral ethics, a panchayat in Cuddalore district passed a resolution on Monday to give another term to its former president and AIADMK functionary R Sakthivel after he offered to “donate” Rs 50 lakh for the renovation of a temple in the village and for undertaking other development projects.

周一，Cuddalore地区某村务委员会通过了一项决议，给予主席兼AIADMK官员萨蒂韦尔另一个任期，这公然违反国家的民*原则和选举原则。此前，萨蒂韦尔“捐赠”了500万卢比用于修缮村里的一座寺庙以及开发其他项目。

The Nadukuppam panchayat near Panruti also resolved to elect DMDK functionary A Murugan, 36, as its vice-president after he promised Rs 5 lakh for the temple, villagers told TOI.

村民告诉《印度时报》，村务委员会也决定选举36岁的穆鲁甘为副主席，因为他承诺出资50万卢比修缮寺庙。

In a video circulated on WhatsApp, a village elder was seen reading out the resolution to unanimously elect Sakthivel and Murugan president and vice-president respectively of Nadukuppam panchayat “kee in view the completion of renovation of the Sri Draupadiamman temple and for the betterment of the village”.

在WhatsApp上流传的一段视频中，村里的长老宣读了一致选举萨蒂韦尔和穆鲁甘分别担任纳杜库帕姆村务委员会主席和副主席的决议，“鉴于斯里德劳帕迪亚曼神庙的修缮工作已经完成，且为了村庄的更好发展。”

The village elders, who ‘auctioned’ the two posts in a meeting on Monday, passed the resolution and directed the two functionaries to pay up the money before December 15. The elders, in turn, promised that no one will file nominations for the posts if the two leaders give the money on time. There are 1,900 voters in the panchayat, which comprises eight wards.

长老们在周一的一次会议上“拍卖”了这两个职位，他们通过了这项决议，并指示这两名官员在12月15日前把钱付清。长老们则承诺，如果两位能按时捐款，就没有人能提名这些职位。在由八个选区组成的村务委员会有1900名选民。

Reacting to the villagers’ decision, Cuddalore district collector V Anbuselvan warned of stern action against the “unde ocratic practice” of auctioning the local body posts.

作为对村民的回应，Cuddalore地区收税官V Anbuselvan警告称，要对拍卖地方机构职位的“不民*做法”采取严厉行动。

Denying that he took part in an auction for the president’s post, 42-year-old Sakthivel said, “It is a plot by the opposition camp, which has launched attempts to tarnish my name and image. I am not a zamindar to offer Rs 50 lakh. I hail from a family of farmers. I wanted to garner support of village elders, who gathered on Monday as I planned to file the nomination papers on Wednesday,” he said.

42岁的萨蒂韦尔否认他参与了职位拍卖，他说:“这是反对派阵营的阴谋，他们试图玷污我的名誉和形象。我不是地主，出不起500万卢比。我来自一个农民家庭。我想获得村里长老的支持，他们周一开会，而我计划周三提交提名文件。”

He has lodged a complaint with Muthandikuppam police station seeking action against “attempts to spread false information” to tarnish his image.

他已经向Muthandikuppam警察局提出投诉，要求对“传播虚假信息行为”采取行动，该信息破坏了他的形象。
