Congress opts fees

Not only do switches flicker on and off, but a similar process also affects the finances of political parties. The Congress party's dire financial situation makes this fact rather evident. 

Although some disagree with this, it is followed as a contributing factor positively. This is quite apparent given the catastrophic financial circumstances of the Congress party these hard days. Do we not find this solid fact practically true? 

The Congress has been using crowdfunding for a long time. It is assumed that money through fees would also be raised in this to contest the assembly elections. The party in question has now been introducing the revolutionary concept of losing fees. 

A set amount of money is undoubtedly spent on elections, but this amount remains enough for the party. So the success of this technique will be tested by assembly polls. But the sum of money appears even tougher to extract. How pitiful does it seem to be?

In fact, during Rahul Gandhi's tenure, the Congress party is experiencing a hard money deficit. Of course, He is a descendant of Nehru and Indira Gandhi, but he has many challenges in the political sphere. Despite facing numerous hurdles, he maintains his composure while he makes apparent gradual progress in his party politics.

He is too self-assured to fail in his political career, even though he could have capably succeeded in reaching his grandparents' heights. He assiduously attempts to go to that point. 

Even while he still has too much time left in the political game, his goals seem unquestionably too far off. The most recent impediment oddly appears in front of him. He would never have guessed that the fundamental issue of a lack of cash is currently plaguing his party.

Multiple news sources have so far confirmed that the party runs with a tinge of funds paucity in a state like Maharashtra and others too. Nothing prior has ever made sense the way that this does now.

 Money remains the big satisfying medium for all political activities particularly with fighting elections. If there is less money then there will be difficulty even in contesting assembly polls. This has proved with the party as it puts a fixed amount of fee for contesting polls in the Maharashtra assembly.  

In case of impending money shortage, there are ample concerns about the severe financial shortage.  This sort of phenomenon has plagued the oldest political party for just over two years.

"The money now frozen in the bank is the money we collected for our campaigns,” A party man added. “This is the first time a party has faced such a crisis. I have been working with the party since 1984, and haven't seen these kinds of crises ever,”  A Congress worker from Palakkad, told

The recent announcement about the imposition of fees follows such crucial party conditions, as sources signal. By putting such responses in the media, the party conveyed a message, and shortly after, social media was abuzz with a flurry of interesting stories about this very news. 

Because of this precarious situation, the party does not have enough money to sponsor candidates, so it has introduced a fee structure similar to other spheres. 

It has been said that this is quite a democratic attempt to identify outstanding candidates with exceptional leadership qualities from among the lakhs of party activists. Does it look like a safe way to cover up fee criteria? 

The Congress party is definitely looking for something new throughout the state of Maharashtra. Therefore, the party gives due prominence to the fee provision.  It may be aware of the fact the candidates desirous of contesting assemble polls and, if truly possible, could spend that much amount with full fervour.

Reportedly for the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, the Congress party will accept applications from potential candidates in exchange for a hefty application fee.

It is as such Rs 20,000 for general candidates and Rs 10,000 for SC, ST and women candidates for all the 288 seats. 

Vice President of the State Congress Nana Gawande has sent a circular with the necessary instructions to all district party units and other officials.

Before August 10, all applicants, whether they are party veterans or novices, must send their paperwork and the required fee to the regional office or the district party offices. 

In Jharkhand and Haryana, similar campaigns have also been started. The official cleared that the goal was to bring good candidates into the fray that the party leadership could take into view for ticket distribution.
