STEEL businessman and former president of Vidarbha Hockey Association (VHA) Radheshyam Sarda-led Hockey Lovers and Promoters Panel (HLPP) made a clean sweep as they ousted ruling VHA Development Panel headed by BC Bhartia in the much publicised elections of the association.
Under the chairmanship of former VHA president Suresh Sharma, joint MD, Baidyanath Ayurved Limited, HLPP grabbed all the 13 posts during the elections held on Sunday at Charity Commissioner’s Office, Civil Lines.
The elections were held after seven years after VHA life member DS Karunashankar won a legal battle in Supreme Court. The apex court directed Charity Commissioner Office to conduct the elections as per voters list of 2005 elections.
Out of total of 317 voters which included six patrons, 271 life members and 40 affiliated units, 190 cast their votes and gave a clear mandate to the HLPP panel for a period of one year.
Sarda, who was association’s president in 2005, defeated two-time VHA chief BC Bhartia by a margin of 14 votes to clinch the top post. Sarda garnered 102 votes while Bhartia managed to get 88.
Voters preferred to support their ‘old friends’ rather than giving Development Panel another chance, who were holding the posts for last seven years.
Vinod Trivedi, who was secretary of the association in 2005, defeated incumbent secretary Vinod Gawai by a margin of 16 (103-87) votes. This is for the first time Gawai has seen the exit door of the association since 2005. In 2005 Gawai was elected as one of the vice-presidents and since 2006 he was secretary of the body.
Treasurer Shyam Sharma continued to sail through easily winning the same post comfortably, this time representing HLPP. Sharma, who is association’s treasurer since 2005, defeated Ghanshyam Purohit by 14 votes. Like Sarda, Sharma too garnered 102 votes while Purohit won 88.
The joint secretary’s post was clinched by another HLPP candidate Pramod Jain who defeated Bhaskar Naidu (VHADP) by (109-81) 28 votes.
Voters, which also include a good number of top businessmen of city apart from former hockey players and lovers showed their affection towards Sardar Atal Bahadur Singh once again.
The former Nagpur Mayor garnered maximum 118 votes to win one of the four vice-president’s post, representing HLPP. The other HLPP members to secure vice-president’s posts include Trilokinath Sidhra (108 votes), DS Karunashankar (100 votes) and Kishor Goydani (98 votes).
They all defeated VHADP’s Arif Khan (79), Unnat Khanna
(87), Kuldeep Reddy (69) and Ajay Gour (61).
There was a clear panel voting for vice-president’s posts as 78 voters preferred HLPP while 51 voted for VHADP, the remaining 61 voters did cross voting.
The trend started to favour HLPP from the beginning when all the three members of the panel won their posts from affiliated units category. Out of 40 votes, HLPP’s Kunal Patil won 23, Javed Rana got 21 and Sanjay Lokhande garnered 20. They defeated VHADP’s Dashrath Talewar (19), Bernard Ekka (17) and Juned Khan (19).
The two posts in general category were won by HLPP’s Salim Baig and former NMC Standing Committee Chairman Dayashankar Tiwari. Baig won 110 votes, second highest after Atal Bahadur Singh while newcomer Tiwari won 105.
The elections were smoothly conducted by election officer Harish Gadge and his assistants RH Padalwar and DR Wagh.
Counting of votes were held under the watchful eyes of AP Matte, Joint Charity Commissioner, Nagpur, AV Kulkarni, Deputy Charity Commissioner, Nagpur and Amit Chauhan, Deputy Charity Commissioner, Amravati.
