Sex Scandal, Scamsters and Bogus leaders have a strong hold in AICC: Ritesh Sinha
After two years of long investigation, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has tried to strengthen his hold on the organization by appointing Secretaries and Joint Secretaries. The letter of appointment of Secretaries and Joint Secretaries was finally issued with the signatures of Congress Organization General Secretary KC Venugopal. In the 90s, Congress had stopped the process of appointment of Joint secretaries.
During that time only General Secretaries and Secretaries used to work in the organization, but in view of political influence, the post of Joint Secretary was revived in Congress once again. The dominance of tainted Sandeep Singh in Congress is not decreasing. Sandeep has kept the organization in UP in his pocket in the name of Priyanka Gandhi.
Despite the change of charge from Uttar Pradesh, Sandeep again succeeded in saving the old team of leftist thinking in his pocket. Let us tell you that apart from Dheeraj Gurjar, Pradeep Narwal, Rajesh Tiwari and Tauqeer Alam, Satya Narayan Patel and Neelanshu Chaturvedi have been added to this team. Rajesh Tiwari, as OSD to the former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, had become close to this team in the name of providing funds. A local woman leader from Bareilly had made objectionable allegations against Tauqeer. On the other hand, serious cases of assault and physical harassment of small screen’s famous heroine and Dalit Archana Gautam, who was a Congress candidate from Meerut, have been registered against Sandeep and his associates.
In the presence of Congress President along with Rahul Gandhi’s advisor K. Raju, powerful General Secretaries K C Venugopal and Mukul Wasnik, the case of beating of a Dalit woman leader in broad daylight was completely suppressed. Sandeep has also deployed his team in Himachal Pradesh, whose name is Vidit Gurjar. Vidit Chaudhary alias Gurjar, who lives in Delhi’s posh colony Vasant Kunj, joined Sandeep’s team through Dheeraj Gurjar of his community. The district president of Bulandshahr had leveled serious allegations against him in the case of intimidation and extortion and a case of usurping the money of the Congress candidate had also come to light. Pradeep Narwal was also in the role of an aide in this. Overall, a weak team is visible not only in UP, but in most of the states of the country.
People working at the ground level like Danish Abrar, Divya Manderna, Neeta D’Souza were pacified by giving them posts. Nitin Kumbhalkar was brought from Nagpur by Alankar of Rahul’s team to keep an eye on Congress treasurer Ajay Maken. Nilesh Patel has also been made secretary for the sake of name.
Among the two people recruited as Congress Secretaries by former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, Bhilai MLA Devendra Yadav has been appointed as the National Secretary and Secretary-in-Charge of Bihar Congress. Devendra Yadav is behind the bars in the arson case that took place in Baloda Bazar on June 10, 2024.
Devendra Yadav, who was close to the former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, took all the allegations against Baghel on himself. This is the reason why Baghel made him the Secretary and arranged for him to abscond in the Congress headquarters. He is also accused of the coal levy scam. The ED has questioned him several times in this matter. In the same case, his bail petitions filed in the month of March 2024 have also been rejected. The matter did not last long. Before the voting of the Assembly Elections 2023, in November 2023, Bhilai MLA Yadav’s name was linked to an alleged sex MMS scandal, but Bhupesh Baghel got him a ticket by using his influence. Then he also became an MLA due to the charisma of the then Chief Minister.
Chandan Yadav, who was the Bihari Secretary with Chhattisgarh in-charge P.L. Punia, kept harassing him in the name of Team Rahul along with exploiting him a lot. But Baghel took rest only after removing Chandan from Chhattisgarh. Chandan Yadav has currently become the Secretary of Madhya Pradesh, where the ‘elephant’ of the late Ahmed Patel has been put on him. In Bihar, even the Congress President himself keeps a distance from Lalu and Tejashwi, so what Bhilai MLA Yadav will do, only Kharge will know about it. Pappu Yadav dominates Bihar in the name of Yadav community.
The controversial image of MP Pappu Yadav and the influence of his wife Rajya Sabha MP Ranjit Ranjan has been reduced. At the same time, an attempt has been made to give an undisputed face to former Union Minister late Sharad Yadav’s daughter Subhashini Yadav by making her the Secretary at the behest of Lalu Yadav.
Virendra Singh Rathore, who was much talked about and showed Rahul’s influence, has disappeared from the organization. There was a time when Rathore used to fit in wherever there was an election. His game went wrong when he forcibly took Rahul Gandhi to Bihar for a court appearance case, on which the presiding officer judge had advised that the former Congress President need not come in such a case. From there on, he was sidelined. In true sense, Mallikarjun Kharge and his Generals have expressed their intention to keep the organization weak by forming a weak and Non-Performing Team. There is a lot of discontent in the Congress about these appointments.
The Congress President, who slept for two years, has created a huge army of weak and incapable people under the guise of the assembly elections of Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir, which is a crowd of tainted, corrupt and inefficient people who weaken the organization. Even if this does not benefit the organization, it will definitely benefit some people. It remains to be seen how effective this team will prove to be in future.
