Controversy over Youth Congress election result did not stop

Controversy is continuously increasing in Rajasthan regarding the result of the Youth Congress elections. On Sunday, 4 leaders contesting the Youth Congress elections met Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, state in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, and Govind Singh Dotasara and presented their problems.
He said that fairness was not maintained in the Youth Congress elections. The result was already available in the market 1 hour before the release of the election result. At the same time, discrimination has also been done in vote rejection and hold. In such a situation, there should be an impartial inquiry into this entire matter.
Actually, Sachin Pilot supporter Abhimanyu Poonia topped with the maximum votes in the pre-election results of the Youth Congress in Rajasthan. After this, only the office bearers who stood second, third, fourth, and fifth have lodged objections regarding the election results.
Sudhindra Moond, Yashveer Sura, Satveer Chowdhary, and Rakesh Meena have alleged that the process of vote rejection and hold was rigged. In such a situation, once again the elections of Youth Congress in Rajasthan are becoming a cause of trouble for the Congress party. The total voting in the Youth Congress elections in Rajasthan was more than 19 lakhs. But only 7 lakh 70 thousand votes were counted during the counting. The remaining 12 lakh 30 thousand votes were rejected. Complainants Sudhindra Mund, Yashveer Sura, Satveer Chaudhary, and Rakesh Meena say on what basis the vote was rejected. Its report should be made public.
The candidates said how can 60 to 80 percent of our votes be rejected. While this figure of the candidate who got the most votes is only 30 to 40%. This clearly shows that the rejection has been tampered with during vote counting. At the same time, even before the counting process was completed, the result had come on social media. In such a situation, questions are also being raised about the fairness of the election system. Therefore, the further process should start only after the investigation of this matter.
Abhimanyu Poonia has got a maximum of 2 lakh 30 thousand 79 votes in Rajasthan Youth Congress Election 2023. On the other hand, Sudhindra Mund is the second number. He got 1 lakh 97 thousand 385 votes. Similarly, Yashveer Sura remained at number three with 1 lakh 59 thousand 640 votes. While Vice President of Sports Council, Satveer Chaudhary was at number four with 71 thousand 959 votes, Rakesh Meena at number five with 20 thousand 740 votes.
This is not the first case of irregularities in Youth Congress elections. Even before this, there has been a disturbance in the Youth Congress elections in Rajasthan. Then the Congress high command ended the controversy by releasing the election results again. Earlier in the year 2020, in the Youth Congress elections, Sumit Bhagasara was elected as the President of the Youth Congress due to getting maximum votes.
After this, Mukesh Bahkar made allegations of irregularities in the election. After this, when the irregularities were revealed. So after 10 days the result was released again and MLA Mukesh Bhakar was declared the winner in place of Sumit Bhagasara. Although Mukesh Bhakar remained the President of the Youth Congress for two months. After this, during the Manesar incident in July 2020, the organization removed Bhakar from the post of president.
