Mangalore, March 30: The Indian Youth Congress (IYC), the youth wing of Indian National Congress will hold its membership drive through organizational elections in the State from April 25.
Addressing media persons here on Wednesday, Abu Sharma, Lok Sabha Returning Officer of the Indian National Congress said that this was the first time that internal party elections are being held in the Indian National Congress.
He said after completing membership drive, a voters list will be created and elections process for the IYC organization office bearers at booth level will be commenced. This will be followed by elections for office bearers at Assembly Constituency level, the Lok Sabha and the state level.
To ensure fairness in the election process, he said, Rahul Gandhi has requested Foundation for Advanced Management of Elections (FAME), an NGO created by Lyngdoh, former Chief Election Commissioner of India, to audit the membership and election process ensuring it is impartial and open to all.
He said “It is only through these elections that the real leaders will get identified. Leaders who have not risen through a transparent and democratic process cannot be expected to represent the real aspirations and needs of the largest and youngest democracy of the world,”
To become a member of the Indian Youth Congress, one should download membership form from www.iyc.in/karnataka and filled applications should be sent to Lok Sabha Returning Officer with a copy of address proof, ID proof along with membership fee.
