Thrissur : In a curious arrangement, the funds being raised toward Youth Congress State Conference is funneled into leader’s personal bank account. South Indian Bank, Thrissur Mission Quarters branch, to be specific and the account holder is State General Secretary Jobin Jacob.
Money continues to flow into this account from within and outside the country. The fundraising post circulating on social media too gives Google Pay number belonging to Jobin Jacob. Incidentally, the Youth Congress has an account existing in the name of Youth Congress State Committee at State Bank of India, Thiruvananthapuram branch. The State Committee has instructed to collect Rs 100 per person. And although, that’s the per head target, money flowing in is far more than that. Then there is additional coming in from overseas patrons too, meaning lakhs of rupees are trickling into a personal account in this manner. A group of State Office office bearers have approached the KPCC leadership in this regard.
Meanwhile, the leadership contends there is technical snag to receiving money via GooglePay into the State Committee account and thus the funds are diverted to Jobin's personal account.
The Youth Congress State Conference is scheduled to being Wednesday in Thrissur and will conclude on Friday.
