Uttar Pradesh membership drive proving successful: Youth Congress

December 19th, 2009 - 10:00 pm ICT by IANS ( 8 comments )

Rahul Gandhi Lucknow, Dec 19 (IANS) The ongoing Youth Congress membership drive in Uttar Pradesh is attracting keen interest, a party member said Saturday.
Even as membership has been opened in only 26 of the state’s 80 parliamentary constituencies, as many as 650,000 aspirants have already submitted their application forms, he added.

“The membership norms are extremely strict, which is why nearly 50 percent of the application forms have been rejected,” Youth Congress member Arvind Chaudhary told media persons here, adding most of the rejections were on account of applicants not submitting proof of identity.

As a part of ensuring a fool-proof system, a bar code is being affixed on every application form.

“We are so particular that no sooner had 25,000 bar code stickers gone missing from a courier packet, we immediately cancelled all those bar codes so that there is no scope for any kind of irregularity,” Chaudhary pointed out.

The membership drive marks the beginning of the organisational election process in the Youth Congress under the eye of former chief election commissioner J.M. Lyngdoh.

Initiated by Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, an organisational election in the Youth Congress in the state is being witnessed after a gap of more than two decades.

    dear readers
    What is youth membership it is an eye wash just to lure voters to vote them till the time these old peoples are sitting on top they will never allow any youth to take strong decisions.I dont say that congress is not working for mass but the speed is not good.
    regards

    dear readers

    The politicians are suppose to provide security which is the bare minimum requirement for any citizens and they even fail to do so.The police which is meant for our security is only busy to bulldoze the middle class citizens and loot money bloody shame on our security system.
    regards
