It may be noted that it was a dispute over Bharat Milap which had triggered communal violence in Mau last year. Due to the communal violence, the function of Bharat Milap was postponed and it was decided that this function would be held from February 12 to 18 this year in Mau.

Sources said that now the Mau district administration was reluctant to allow the office-bearers of Sri Ram Leela Mela Samiti to conduct the Bharat Milap function.

As per information, the Mau district administration now wanted to conduct the Zila Panchayat election (which was also postponed due to the communal violence) instead of Bharat Milap.

Sources said that the District Magistrate had forwarded a letter to the Election Commission seeking permission to conduct the Zila Panchayat election from February 16 to 23. Though the Mau district administration has got no reply from the Election Commission till now, the members of the Mela Samiti are annoyed with the district administration for postponing the Bharat Milap programme.
