The counting, held on November 6, showed Ghanghoria leading with 3,13,730 votes, followed by Abhishek Parmar of Bhopal with 2,38,780 votes, and Devendra Singh Dadu in third place. However, both Parmar and Dadu have filed complaints with the party’s national leadership, alleging discrepancies in membership validation and vote counting. The final decision is now pending in Delhi after a review of the objections.
Sources said that several Youth Congress members have written to National In-charge Manish Sharma, highlighting concerns over the election process and the use of the digital SIR system, which Rahul Gandhi had earlier described as “a tool for vote theft.” BJP leaders, including state minister Vishwas Sarang, have accused Congress of “rigging its own election.”
Adding to the controversy are allegations of age-limit violations, with reports that individuals above 35 years were allowed to vote. Shiv Dangi from Rajgarh claimed he spent over20 lakh enrolling members, yet most votes from his district were declared invalid.
The membership drive began in April, with over 15 lakh youth registering through an online app. Of these, 14.7 lakh were found eligible to vote. Officials, including state election officer Mukul Gupta and Sharma, have not responded to media queries.
As the Congress leadership in Delhi reviews the complaints, the Youth Congress in Madhya Pradesh remains divided, awaiting clarity on who will officially lead its next generation.
