Campaign dragged down by cross-voting and rebellion, Congress to probe Rajasthan local body poll performance

The Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee has formed a nine-member committee to probe allegations of cross-voting and irregularities during the recent municipal elections in the state. Led by former Assembly Speaker CP Joshi, the committee, headed by former Assembly Speaker CP Joshi, will submit its report within seven days. Over 400 Congress councillors are suspected of cross-voting in the mayor and chairman elections held in 309 urban local bodies.

The committee will examine complaints from various districts, including Bhilwara, Pali, and Bharatpur, and submit its findings to the PCC chief. The incident has also caught the attention of the AICC, with party leadership expressing concern over the situation. Disciplinary action against the affected councillors is expected after the committee submits its report.
