Madhusudan Mistry, Chairman of the Congress Central Election Authority (File/Twitter)Come October 17, the Congress will elect its new party president, in what could be a make-or-break election for the party. Holding the key to it is old Congress hand Madhusudan Mistry, who is responsible for conducting organisational elections as Chairman of the Congress Central Election Authority. He speaks to The Indian Express:
At the CWC meeting on Sunday, Anand Sharma raised some questions regarding the electoral rolls. The charge is that there is no clarity on the PCC delegates who will vote in the election for Congress president.
What do they mean by that? Those who want to see their names, they can see them at the PCC office. What is the problem? I don’t understand.
Some leaders say that elections or meetings were not held to draw up the list of delegates who will vote in the election, starting from booths and going up to the PCC level?
Did anyone ask for an election? Anyone? And we did not allow it. Please ask them. There is no point making a sweeping judgment. You ask A, B or C where an election was demanded and we have refused. It is not fair on anybody’s part. We have tried our level best to give an opportunity to each and everybody, including leaders at the district level, PCC level and so on. This was discussed with leaders of the Congress at all levels. The returning officers have been working quite hard.
