    After the 73rd Amendment to the Constitution of India the GP has become a powerful means of self governance. But the States and especially Karnataka suppress the authority of the GPs for political and personal gains of the corrupt. Unless the judiciary comes down heavily and quickly against such road blocks country cannot achieve the self governance and we can forget fullfilling Bapu's dreams of "Swarajya" ever. Extreme example is in Udupi itself. UPCL power project is built without GP License thanks to Dr.VS Achar &Co.
