Election, election and election…Now a day’s every candidate is
trying to lure his/her candidature in such a fashion that he/ she would be the reservoir
of all talent/ expertise to take our profession into the next level. Every now
and then it seems like we as a professional needs someone who can really
understand us and can talk at the required platform as if we are novice in this
course of action.
Everyone would agree that there are number of selfishnesses
and self motivated goals behind such candidatures and once the target is achieved
than there is no dearth of looking back and helping to those who actually
trusted upon them and actually voted.
Nonetheless, each time when such election comes , candidates
try to ladder up their visibility and try to note down all pending matters/
issues/ concerns and would provide you far more convincing ideas and look for
votes and again when such elections are over you will hardly find them acting
upon such action plans that they actually promised.
General politics prevalent in India comes in almost same
manner and it has now became an art to make all the Voters fooled and get their
votes by using all efforts, however ICAI elections presumably different from
this culture.
Now,
There are some facts and key observations which everyone
needs to answer and ask themselves before getting into these lucrative election
campaigning –
1 – Everyone states that they want to do something for
profession and that’s why they are contesting such elections but how come a
PERSON who really wants to contribute for the betterment of the profession
needs such elected posts?
2- Bigger firms try harder to get the place in such
committees/ councils even though they are much busier competing with smaller
firms and at the end they intended that they would like to do smoothing for
smaller firms , can anyone understand this?
3- Why no one talks about the methods which are being used
while tendering audits and their award as there is no scope for Proprietorship
firms even to file for it and still candidate comes and wants proprietorship
firms votes?
4- Maximum portion of the profession is now in corporate world
and influencing all segments of the profession however participation in the
such councils/ committee is almost nil?
5- Why there is no grievances mechanism against such
councils/ committees members which actually works out and perhaps which has
been made to serve us but its almost difficult to reach any of such persons to
get meaningful revert?
6- Why there is no fair participation in the roles of branch
activities as you would find it difficult to get a fair chance to serve even
for your branches and reason perhaps would be, these branches provide a ground
which normally uses to go for these bigger election and it is almost impossible
to get into these committees unless you have done something at branch levels?
7- Is there any mechanism where individual can visualize that
how many projects/ tenders have been awarded to the firms which are having
presence in such committees?
8- There is no legal binding upon the candidate about the
promises that he/ she makes while contesting the election and its fulfillment once
elections has won by such candidates?
Please DO NOT offend after reading the article as this is based
on observations which everyone figures it out but afraid to express in words.
There is nothing has been pointed in this article to any specific person/ institution
and it has just floated for the sake of benefit of VOTERS for the upcoming
council elections.
Request to all voters to have courage and wisdom to take meaningful
decision while voting and try to think up beyond what actually is being shown/
promised now.
