The Minister was speaking at an interaction of Panches and Sarpanches of Bhalwal block here.
Hitting out at what he called "misleading campaigners," Sagar said people should look into the designs of such elements who do not want grassroot level institutions to flourish in the state.
"They have always resorted to divisive tactics to further their nefarious designs and political agenda," he said, adding, the Panchayti Raj Act promulgated by the government is a comprehensive one and provides full empowerment to Panchayti Raj Representatives.
Asserting that the government was keen to establish a vibrant Panchayati Raj System in the state, he reiterated its commitment to hold elections for Block councils soon.
"We have ensured that power is transmitted to the grassroot level instead of resorting to rhetoric and spreading false propaganda besides dividing people on the basis of region and other related factors," he said.
He said the government has already brought 14 departments under the supervisory control of Panchayats, which is a revolutionary step towards making these institutions effective and development oriented.
The government has earmarked Rs 41 crore for distributing Rs 1 lakh among each Panchayat Halqa for taking up small development works of urgent public need, he said.
