Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

Any member of the Gram Sabha can directly remove members of the Panchayat.

Every adult member of the village enrolled in the voter list is a member of the Gram Sabha. The Gram Panchayat is accountable to the Gram Sabha for its functioning. If the Gram Sabha members are unhappy with the Panchayat, they can remove the elected members, as long as they have a two-thirds majority.
