Neena Gupta's character in the well-liked web series Panchayat is the elected village pradhan, but Raghubir Yadav's portrayal of her husband does all the work, and everyone refers to him as the acting pradhan. The husband of a recently elected woman sarpanch allegedly took the oath of office in place of his wife in a gramme panchayat in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh district, in a similar scenario that raises many questions. Other male members who weren't husbands took the oath of office on behalf of the newly elected female sarpanches, according to the news. The video is widely shared.
