Kick starts membership campaign
The Youth Congress (YC) elections will be held transparently. About 2000 returning officers will be engaged in YC polls. The organisation aims to form committee in every booth. The words were expressed by YC poll commissioner Sachin Nayak while commencing organisation’s membership campaign in presence of PCC president Nandkumar Patel, senior leader Vidya Charan Shukla and legislator Ajit Jogi at Congress Bhawan on Thursday.
Nayak further said besides making new members, the existing members too would have to renew their membership. He also distributed membership forms to the YC office-bearers.
He said 33 percent organisational posts would be reserved for women. Notably, the YC has 377000 members in the state while the number of female members is over 1.50 lakh. The organisation targets to touch the figure of five lakh members during the membership drive.
Nayak admitted that the YC polls had some shortcomings which would be overcome in the coming days.
The pradesh returning officer (PRO) Harpal Singh Thakur informed in detail about the polling procedures to the YC office-bearers. He said the polls would be conducted in 20937 booth committees. There will be five office-bearers (president – 1, vice president – 1, general secretary – 3) in every booth-committee. All the three posts of general secretary will be reserved for backward class, scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and women.
Similarly, there will be ten posts each in Vidhan Sabha, Lok Sabha and state committees. In these committees, the posts of president, one post each of vice president and general secretary will be unreserved.
On the occasion, Patel said the state unit would not interfere into YC polls and would extend its full support for its smooth conduction. He suggested that at least 50 members should be made in every booth. “Our aim should be to reach every polling centre,” he said.
He pointed that the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe youth had to face problem in obtaining caste certificate and this factor should be considered during YC polls.
Shukla said the party’s national general secretary Rahul Gandhi had given new direction to the youth politics. He said adequate arrangements had been done to check irregularities in YC polls. He said the forthcoming Assembly and general elections would be a major challenge for Congress and the youth would play key role in changing the party’s fate.
Jogi said the youth should contest in YC polls with enthusiasm and composure. He termed youth as strength of every organisation and said they had gut to bring sea change.
Meanwhile, with the beginning of YC poll, there has been marked rise in claimants of different YC posts. While several YC office-bearers have announced to fight for state executive, Pankaj Mishra and Vipin Mishra declared that they too would contest for president posts.
The YC state president Uttam Vasudev also addressed the office-bearers. On the occasion were present MLA Amitesh Shukla, PCC general secretaries Subhash Sharma, Devvrat Singh, Bhupesh Baghel, party vice president Deepak Dubey, DCC Raipur Urban president Inderchand Dhariwal, Dr Shivnarayan Dwivedi, Idrish Gandhi, Abdul Hameed Hayat, Iqbal Ahmed Rizvi, Daulat Rohra, Anjay Shukla, Deepak Mishra Vinod Tiwari, Sunil Kukreja, Manish Dayal, Dilip Chouhan, Anwar Hussein, Ashok Sonwani, Pankaj Mishra, Sheikh Musheer, etc.
