ECI Uploads RGP Contribution Report Signed by Ajay Kholkar; Kholkar Questions Viresh Borkar’s Claim to National President Post

Panaji: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has accepted and uploaded the Revolutionary Goans Party’s (RGP) Contribution Report for the financial year 2025–26, signed by Ajay Kholkar, further bringing the party’s internal leadership dispute into focus.

According to the press release issued by Kholkar, who identifies himself as the RGP Treasurer, the contribution report dated September 30, 2026, was received by the ECI on October 11, 2026, and subsequently uploaded on the Commission’s official website on October 21, 2026. Kholkar has cited the acceptance and uploading of the report as recognition of his position as the party’s Treasurer.

Reacting to the development, Kholkar challenged RGP MLA Viresh Borkar to produce documentary evidence establishing his appointment as the party’s National President at different stages, including before the registration of the party, after its registration and following the completion of the four-year term.

Kholkar maintained that merely claiming a designation does not automatically establish someone as an authorised office-bearer of a registered political party. He stated that appointments to key party positions must be made in accordance with the party constitution and supported by valid organisational records and prescribed procedures, with the necessary communication to the Election Commission wherever applicable.

He further alleged that Borkar was misleading Goans and RGP members by projecting himself as the party’s National President, claiming that the position had neither been approved nor recognised by the ECI.

The latest statement comes amid an ongoing dispute over the leadership and organisational control of the Revolutionary Goans Party, with the rival claims over key party positions bringing the party’s internal differences into the public domain.

The claims and allegations in the press release were made by Ajay Kholkar in his capacity as RGP Treasurer.
