After winning the election in 2022 and becoming sarpanch, she reportedly entered into an agreement with Meena and handed over rights and power of sarpanch to him. In return for getting the
powers and rights of the sarpanch, Ramsevak Meena agreed to pay Munni Bai Rs one lakh annually. Confirming both the cases, the Guna district collector Kishor Kanyal said, “We had received
complaints about both those village panchayats, after which a probe was ordered. The probe led to documented facts, after which both the concerned women sarpanches have been removed from
their posts. Action is also being initiated against the secretaries of the two village panchayats. Also, FIRs have been registered against those with whom the agreements were made. This will
ensure that such incidents don’t recur in our district in future.” These two developments in Guna district of Gwalior-Chambal region, happened three months after a first-time woman sarpanch
lost her post in Neemuch district for handing over her rights, duties and powers of sarpanch to a man of the same village. The action was initiated in February by the authorities in Neemuch
district of western MP against Kailashi Devi Kachchawa, the first-time woman sarpanch of Daata village of Manasa area of western MP’s Neemuch district for handing over her rights, powers
and duties as sarpanch to a man from the same village Suresh Garasiya. The agreement between the village sarpanch Kailashi Bai and Suresh Garasiya happened on a Rs 500 stamp paper on January
24. The agreement was signed by both parties as well as two eyewitnesses.
