Political Condition
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caste wise vertical divide is also observed in political scenario of Bhal. Despite having large population Kolis and Dalits does not have political power. Their voices are divided and ruled by upper caste communities. They are politically discriminated not only in panchayat election but also in legislative and federal elections. With this general development in Koli and Dalit dominated villages is lagging behind. Political interference in development activities also lead to substandard works and in some cases activities remained on paper.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
With the 72nd amendment of constitution, 30 % villages of Bhal have women sarpanchs. But they do not have decision-making power in Panchayats. Issues relating to drinking water, livelihoods and exploitation took back stage. By and large their husband or family members influence local governance. With this, position of women did not change much. They need to be encouraged and equipped to govern local development process.
