Solution

The correct option is A Panchayat Samiti
The Panchayat Samiti has many Gram Panchayats under it. The Sarpanchs of different villages under the Taluk approach the Panchayat Samiti together and explain to it the demands of the people. After verifying the documents, the Panchayat Samiti allocates funds for repairing the roads and constructing schools in the villages.

So, Rajnath will approach the Panchayat Samiti to fulfil the demands of the Suryapet village.
