general secretary Digvijay Singh and Satav over the issue. The Sanjeev Singh camp suspects that there is a move to hand over the charge to the rival group led by Vice President of Bihar Youth Congress Kumar Ashish, who is stated to be close to former PCC chief and Congress Working Committee member Shakeel Ahmed. Singh is believed to be close to another former PCC chief Anil Sharma. The camp led by Sanjeev Singh alleges that Kumar Ashish was named in question paper leak case after which he was expelled from Youth Congress some time back. He wondered how can there be "two standards on a similar issue". " Kumar Ashish was made a delegate of Pradesh Congress when Shakeel Ahmed was the PCC chief. "Youth Congress Presidents of 28 of the 40 Lok Sabha seats of Bihar have come to the national capital. They will also resign if some corrective measure is not taken," Sanjeev Singh said demanding a review of the decisions to cancel his candidature. However, Kumar Ashish, who formally took charge as Youth Congress Vice President in Patna yesterday, rubbished the claims of support by Singh saying while six of the eight office-beaerer of the state were present in the meeting called by him, Lok Sabha Presidents of 20 seats also made to it, that too without any formal invitation. The camp led by Kumar Ashish feels that the claim by Sanjeev Singh's group that 28 of the Lok Sabha Presidents in the state are supporting him is "false" and that "signatures have been forged". Asked about the apprehensions in one of the camps that Kumar Ashish may later be promoted as Youth Congress President as Sanjeev Singh stands disqualified, Satav said the focus is on the committee and not on one individual.
