Raj Nivas sources here said Bedi discussed "challenges before the union territory of Puducherry with Shah. Priority being the need to ensure grass root level democracy by holding panchayat elections."

Civic polls have not been held for nearly ten years here "despite the directions of the Supreme Court," the sources said.
