Vinay Vatrana, who was appointed as Returning Officer to conduct the Rajindra Gymkhana and Mahindra Club (RGMC), Patiala elections has reacted sharply on the ongoing club elections. He said these elections are invalid, illegal.
After the completion of today’s annual general meeting (AGM), the poll process started, despite the cancellation orders passed by the returning officer of the RGMC club.
When contacted Vinay Vatrana after the poll process begins, he reiterated his stand and said, “ I had already written a three page letter to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) about the mlatreatment , presursising tactics used by the members on a returning officer. The members had even threaten me , confined me in a room, levelled allegations on me.Now, the RoC will take its call in coming days. RoC can take a week or ten days or more to react, till than they can enjoy their victory. After that the club is going to face another elections and that too under the supervision of RoC authorities.
Vatrana added, “the other wrong thing the management has done is that they replaces me as RO and appointed Mr Gupta as new RO, without any written orders.”
While giving the reference of the club constitution,Vatrana, a senior advocate had said “ In the AGM all the agenda ,except elections will be taken up before the start of the voting” .They can hold the AGM, but no voting was allowed. They are violating the orders
Vatrana added that he had requested the senior superintendent of police (SSP) Patiala to provide him security as the club members may harm him, attack him due to the tough stand he had taken for the betterment of the club.These “club grabbers” can go to any extent to harm him.
“Ongoing RGMC elections are illegal ; will be held again under the supervision of RoC”-Vinay Vatrana. Whereas the members who are contesting elections, their supporters are still hopeful that nothing of this type is going to happen .
“Vatrana is helping a group of candidates and when the members busted this nexus, he got infuriated and start doing these childish acts” said a club member on the condition of anonymity.
