"The 73rd amendment will not be implemented in the state but its provisions can be incorporated in the state act," Omar told reporters on the sidelines of a function at Kashmir University here.
He said if anyone has any suggestions with regard to this issue, the government can discuss it in the cabinet and accept whatever can be done.
Giving the reasons for cancelling the Block Development Council elections, the Chief Minister said an ordinance has been sent to the Governor for providing reservations for women, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in these bodies.
"Our problem was that there were no reservations for the Sarpanch post and it would not have been ideal to have reservations in the next level (of Panchayats). The second problem was that this issue came up after the notification for the block councils were issued," he said.
Omar said the elections will be held within three to four months after the Governor approves the ordinance.
