Election Results & Update

The election to the five posts of the MC Members were held in the Society premisis on 23 Aug 2008. Shri AK Malpani and Shri Ranbir Singh were declared elected, unopposed, to the posts of President and Vice President respectively. The two lady candidates, Mrs Swapna Ghose and Mrs Jayini A Shekhar too were declared elected unopposed as the only other lady in fray, Mrs Rashmi Chari's nomination was rejected by the RO. Of the six candidates in the fray for five posts of MC Members, the five elected were Brig Rakesh Goel, Col RC Kapoor, Mr LC Tomar, Dr AK Upadhyay and Col Jagdish Madan. Mr Rajeev Manchanda lost the election having secured less votes than the other contestants.

During the conduct of the election, a few of the sixteen members, whose membership is yet to be regularised by the Registrar, argued with the RO, Shri Ashok Kumar Navet, and tried to pressurise him into being allowed to participate in the election process. While their efforts to secure their democratic right to participate in the election process is understandable, the approach adopted by them directly denies the same right to the other 146 members and also ensures an incompetent and indifferent MC continues to illegally overstay at the helm of Society's affairs. To the credit of the RO, he maintained a dignified and cool stance inspite of provocation and accusations of arbitrary behavior. Shri Ashok Kumar Navet, RO politely informed those arguing with him that the issue of membership was beyond his mandate and that they should approach the Registrar for redressal of their grievances. Upon completion of the elections, the RO, Shri Ashok Kumar Navet, announced the vote count and informed those present that the written results of the election were being withheld in view of complaints by some members. He also informed all present that the written results of the election will be submitted to the Registrar and that the same can be obtained from the RCS's Office by Wednesday, 27 Aug 2008.
