In a U-turn, RDPR dept tells GPs to bear election expenses Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) department, which had instructed gram anchayats not to bear election expenses, saying they will be reimbursed through district returning officers (DRO)/tahsildars in its circular dated May 5, has now withdrawn it and has told GPs to 'cooperate' with the Election Commission in a circular issued on Friday evening.
