Thnaks for participating in ASTO election 2008-10

I sincerely thank all those who participated in the ASTO election 2008-10. I salute the mandate of the officer community and request all of you to give full cooperation to the newly elected ASTO bearers so that they can get bargaining power and get more things from the management. Long Live ASTO unity.

Election Tit-bits

ASTO election is going on in full swing in Karaikal. In the first phase from 11/4/2008 to 15/04/2008 approximately 208 votes in fields, 249 votes in Neravy and 11 posatl votes have been polled. Its approximately 60% of the total votes of 793 votes
Reecntly I sent an SMS asking to save ASTO from foreign elements. Some candidates who are being sponsored by the foreign elements were commenting on "Foreign Element".
If in India if you are not having valid Id card you are a foreign element.
In ONGC, if u don't have membership of ASTO, you are a foreign element for ASTO.
The whole world knows that the same people who were commenting are sponsored by the foreign elements and they have decided to destroy the diginity of ASTO community. Should these candidates who are sponsored and blessed by Foreign elements be elected? Dear ASTO members, you just decide!

Important Announcement

Dear ASTO members,
ASTO election 2008-10 I phase started and is going on well, but for small incidents here and there.
Some candidates are distributing hand notices even when the voter is entering the polling booth, which is gainst all ethics.
Some candidates are distributing pens with their name printed and the post for which they are contesting. Its highly objectionable. Even before the election how they can use the post?
The height of all these is the following incident. One candidate was proudly saying his supporteres are recording their ballot papers after casting the votes and showing to the gentleman. This is highly condemned. This is against all democratic norms. Let the Returning officer note this down and see that no recording of polled papers are done by the voters. Otherwise, fearing the outsider, the voter is not allowed free polling.

Congrats


Congrats Shri Rajan Pillai and his team who were elected as ASTO executives from Baroda.

This once again proves that Officers community likes those who can die for them in Hunger strike rather than who are waiting to take an opportunity to stay in 5 star hotels.

FAQ on ASTO Election - II

==================================
Who are all conetsting for the post of Secretary?
==================================
There are 5 contestants:
1. Shri S.Kalamani, SE(D)
2. Shri. N.Elangovan, CE(Mech) ------Under transfer to Hazira in AT-2008
3. Shri. M.Gunasekaran, CE(Mech)
4. Shri Saseendharan, CM(FInance)
5. Shri Soundarrajan, SE(D)
==================================
Even after seeing the transfer orders, some gentleman are contesting?
==================================
My sincere request to Officers community is please shun those people. In 2002-05 election we have seen President running away from his responsibility after being elected as President. We were without Presdient for 3 years. So its in your hands - don't vote for a vaccum
==================================
Question: You don't have children studying in ONGC Public School. Hence you are not taking care of School Issues?
==================================
Silly questions by the leaders who have no issue to point against outr panel. Should I answer this?
- Kumar does not have old age parents (they died long back). Hence he is not taking old parents issues.
- Kumar is a degree holder. He is not taking care of other issues
- Till last election Kumar was a Malayalee.....

Do you understand, these are the issues raised by cheap overnight leaders. Please show those leaders that we are officers and we know how to elect our leaders. We need not get advices from imported leaders from other units or other collectives.
======================================
Question : One of the contestant is bragging that Kumar Opens his mouth only when he eats Bonda in Canteen?
======================================
I am sorry to say that such leaders were coming to ASTO office to have Bondas and they have no other issues to discuss.
I have already told that its not loud voice or barking needed to tackle issues. Its only tactics and strategies will solve the issues. Forget and show the way to canteen to those immatured leaders.
If you see Tamilnadu History, the Man (Shivaji Ganesan)who had a continuos dialogue delivering capability did not rule the state. The man(Kalaingar) who wrote those dialogues only ruled the State. The Man ( so called Malayalee _ MG Ramachandran) who lost part of his speaking ability in an accident only Ruled Tamilnadu
