Decisions on recognition and updating the registered address of the RGP rest with the Election Commission of India (ECI), CEO Goa Sanjay Goel said today. Representatives of both RGP factions—Ruvina Shirodkar and Ajay Kholkar—attended the meeting of political parties with the CEO. Goel said his office had received an application for change of address and forwarded it to the ECI. Until a decision is communicated, correspondence will continue to be sent to the party’s address on record.“The decision about updating or not updating lies with the Election Commission,” he said, adding that the commission would also decide who rightfully represents the party. His office would update its records according to the ECI’s directions. Goel said those with grievances can also approach the ECI in Delhi for resolution. The address listed in the CEO’s records is that of the RGP office at Patto, currently in the custody of the Ajay Kholkar faction.
