Happy New Year...and good things will follow

Dear All Members,

First, let me wish you and all your family members a Very Happy New Year 2014. I am sure and confident, it will be surely better year ahead, with few important news coming in to you all in the next 2 to 4 weeks. Keep following the emails often and keep active your account with a reply every 15 days.

With regard to the year end committee meeting, which took place on the 29th Dec 2013, Sunday, the following development took place as per listed agenda, which is only a information to you and no detailed minutes are sent now. The total Minutes of the meeting with released by our VP, Om Prakash as and when it is ready since he chaired the meeting for a change for the following reason. 

1. Since Mohan Babu wrote in his mail that he has no confidence in me, I suggested that I must stand out of the chairing the meeting and suggested anyone to take over as Chairman of the meeting other than me. Members suggested VP, Mr.Om Prakash Ji name to take the chair since I should not chair in all fairness to conduct this meeting in a fair way for justice to be meted to all. Though no one said that have different Chairman ( customarily only President or in his absence Gen Sec have to Chair) , I myself offered to not to chair. Om Ji accepted the proposal and took the agenda as per list as Chairman of the meeting.
2. As expected, Mr.Mohan Babu, though he came in person to give explanation by defending all his actions, he did not submit the resignations ( though he sent it by mail in the month of Nov) with rigid stand to get sacked. The committee had detailed discussion ( more details will be sent in minutes)  and then decided to sack/impeach him from the committee with several reasons coming from various members. Those who voted in favor of the motion are Inayat, Ram Babu, Nagarajan, Dalappaiah and Om Ji along with my vote. Only Nagarjuna did not vote for or against the motion. After it was voted and removed, Mohan Babu was asked to leave the meeting as soon as it is decided since he has no right to sit in the meeting. 
3. Since Gyaneshwar did not come, no explanation could be sought from him, his removal as CAT team head is in abeyance. Till his name is cleared on land grab allegations, he will be not head of the CAT team. However, he may be removed by a voice vote in a later meeting since it is not a post held by him under bylaws and it is a symbolic post to keep him good humor. 
4. The cases to be booked on all illegal association is sanctioned. The letter format will be sent as soon as it is ready.
5. Funds issue was discussed and though it was decided to open a common bank account on 3 or 8 committee members names, it is not decided who will be on these accounts as signatories. I suggested to have Dalappaiah and 2 more. The same will be decided by the Chairman, Om Ji of that meeting. 
6. Monthly budget is sanctioned. Though many felt the amount of Rs. 25,000 per month is less, I requested to sanction for the time being and later we will enhance. The members agreed. Thanks to them.
7. I requested to follow the members protocol to keep everyone in touch with each others by mail, phone and in persons, if possible. All have agreed. 
8. Mr.Nagarjuna offered to resign since he is not able allot the time as MC member to the association. But since it was not listed in the agenda ( even after asking the members to send any other items to be listed before the agenda is circulated and no one sent any, hence the item was not take up), it was not taken up and no decision is taken. The same is pending with Chairman. But I suggested to him that Nagarjuna can send it by mail and we will circulate to the members to take their views. But at the same time,  I feel ( it is only personal) that he may be relieved since he is asking me to relieve him since he is not able justify his presence from last 6 months. i too feel that he must be respected for his request. The other members ( that is me, Inayat, Ram Babu, Nagarajan, Om Ji) feel that he must be relieved as per his request)  in private discussion after the meeting is adjourned feel that he must be granted permission to get relieved. Let members decide. 

In wake of these developments,  I have proposed to take Prof Anil Kumar in place of Mohan Babu. In private, the proposal is already sounded to the committee members. Majority of them, (that is Inayat, Ram Babu, Nagarajan, Om Ji) have agreed.Only Dalappaiah and Radhakrishna must agree. He will be a very good value addition with his rich experience. Though as President or General Secretary ( as per the bylaws) , they can Co-opt anyone, I wanted the members also to react. 

The way I feel that even Nagarjuna must be relieved, if members also feel so, we must take one lady member to represent the section of ladies to have a face of ladies of the GF. I propose Mrs. Vijayananda of Vani Welfare Association to be on committee since we must reward them for their solid support without any preconditions. I hope you all agree with me? This will fill all the vacancies and we will be able to devote the time on our others works with support of few new and energetic members.

The detailed minutes of the committee meeting will follow as soon as it is ready from Om Ji table. 

Some important news is on the way by this night. Please be on standby.

Thanking you,

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely,
