| Youth Cong polls mired in charges of corruption | | Fake ID cards being pushed in poll process……? | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 26: Even as the Congress is upbeat about having started organizational elections for the Youth wing which began from early this month, the process of polls appears to be marred and mired in charges of corruption , with the functionaries at the helm of affairs alleged to be pushing fake delegates and allowing fake Identity cards to act as bonafide delegates who can participate in casting votes for crucial polls slated on May 28 and 29.
Sources within the party said there are complaints galore about LROs (Lok Sabha Returning officers) encouraging this 'fake delegate game', which is being done in a meticulous manner, something which on one hand is depriving the genuine delegates to participate and elect the functionaries for three vital posts for the Youth Congress and on the other hand there is free and brazen corruption with money changing hands openly. Sources said while things are not happening in a smooth and transparent manner at many places, more such undesired acts and practices are seen happening in Kashmir Valley.
Sources also said that the persons at the helm who are skilled in such manipulative acts are doing this with gullible and ignorant persons who are not fully aware about the complexities of the election process in the Congress organizational polls. There are allegations that at some places deals have been struck and amount fixed for votes , as huge as Rs one lakh fetching 50 votes which become decisive in electing the candidates. In other votes, undeserving and undesirable people manage to enter the poll process by purchasing votes, the amounts varying , though a standard rate fixed per vote allegedly is Rs 2000, sources added.
While the polls are mired amid charges of corruption, perhaps in the knowledge of the senior leaders of the party, in the whole process it is the deserving yet poor people who cannot afford to pay money for buying votes, are getting disillusioned and disappointed with the democratic exercise as they feel if things would be allowed in the same fashion they would never get chance to participate in the polls in a free and fair manner. The elections for the post of state president in both the state capitals is slated on May 28 while at the district level it is on May 29. In all the Youth wing of the Congress party shall have three senior posts elected which includes state president, Lok Sabha president and Constituency president.
Every booth will have maximum five delegates, three in open category and two in reserved. However, the constituencies having no reserved candidates would witness contest among three delegates only. Only the booth level delegates would be eligible to contest the election for Assembly constituencies, Parliamentary constituencies and State leadership. |
