The panchayat functionaries of the Congress in Murshidabad district met Panchayat Minister Anisur Rahaman on Tuesday and asked him to allow the party to reconstitute the Murshidabad Zilla Parishad. The parishad was earlier in the control of the CPM but after the Congress brought a no-confidence motion against the incumbent parishad, the sabhadhipati resigned. “We have 31 members in the parishad and have the capability to reconstitute the top panchayat body in the district on our own,” said Manas Bhuniya, state Congress Legislative Party leader in the state Assembly.
